Well I got one finished and I shot it tonight.  At 15 yards, it shot low so the next one I do will only be one feather not two.

Wind resistance dictates the distance the arrow will fly. If you look down a standard fluflu(3 to 6 fletch)you will see sky between the feathers. If you look down a spiral fluflu you see nothing but feather. By lessening the hight of a spiral fluflu you can increase the distance it will fly.

I use Saunders NPV Fletching Cement on ALL of My Arrows and have not had a feather fly off yet!

 Serious air brake. This style takes time patience.
 
 oxnam has a very nice video available that explains in detail setting up fletching of different configurations then shows what their respective distances are.Targets and hunting footage, too. Good quality video and perfect for a beginner

Yep....total length of feather can be shortened, or the height can be trimmed for desired braking effect....note the evidence of effectiveness left on the fletching from a pheasant hunt.....
