Fletching Help

How far from the nock do you guys start the feather on a 31 inch arrow? Do you use 5" or 4" feathers 3 or 4?

[wooddamon1]

Arrow length doesn't affect how far the fletch is from the nock, mine is 1.5" from the end of of it. Just make sure you're not gonna make noise drawing back on something...

I use 3 5" feathers...

Making arrows is fun ain't it?

For the most part I use 3-4" feathers placed one inch from the end of the shaft. one inch plus the nock gives me plenty room for my fat fingers.

[rluttrell]

What is a advantage of using 4 feathers over 3?

[Stumpkiller]

1-1/4" from the nock gap (and my arrows are 31" BOP - just like yours. Three 5" feathers.

ok another question, is it good to get as much twist out of the feather as possible?

[mahantango]

The more twist, the more noise. Just enough to stabilize, don't over-do it.

i do 1" from the valley of nock to back of feather with 3 5" feathers witha left helical. the helical helps for better broadhead control and stabilization in flight plus is a little more forgiving

[rluttrell]

So with 4" feathers how much twist? 1/8 3/16 or 1/4?
