Anyone have any experience with shooting with arrows with two fletches instaed of the noraml 3 or 4?
How about with broadheads?

Only when one of my fletch gets ripped off. Flies ok, but never purposly fletched with just two. I actually fletch with 4 now.

Yes I have done allot of shooting with a two fletch arrow, and it also stabilized a two blade magnus very well. I never hunted with the set up, just did allot of target shooting.

My roveing quiver has two fletch shafts in it. When I first tried them, I thought, "no way." However, they fly as straight and group as well as my three fletch. Was introduced to this by a fellow on the Howard Hill range in Montana. He claimed that he and friends were winning 3-D shoots with two fletch. The visual takes getting used to. Bow'narrow

My experience with it:
I was convinced to give it a try once when I was running low on feathers. I normally fletch with three. I adjusted my jig and fletched up a couple with two feathers. Sometimes they would fly well sometimes they wouldn't. Then I realized I was just shooting the same arrows with 1/3 less feather. So I refletched with two higher feathers this time, high enough to make up for the surface area I was loosing by only using two feathers. Things improved greatly.
Only problem was noisy flight. I could have gotten around this by using longer instead of higher feathers, but I brace my bows low. Also, I wouldn't have been able to get two fletchings from one feather if I went longer instead of higher.
So two fletch can work as well as any other configuration, you just have to use longer or higher fletching. At least that was my experience with it.

Lately I have given this a try I keep 2 fletched at 90* seem to fly just fine....
