Sorry guys I forgot about this post.
I am relatively new at making arrows and found an old feather burner, figured I would give it a try.
Normally I shoot 3 fletch but thought for a hunting arrow I should have more stability just in case I flub up on the release.
I guess you can call this design a High-Back Shield. they came out to about 3 inches long (a little by accident) but I figured would be close to three 4 inch shield cuts.
I was trying for a combination of a shield cut and a parabolic cut but wanted it to be taller instead of longer.
They seem to fly good for me so I I'll keep the wire in that shape.
