2-fletch 5"

[sledge]

anyone tried it?

if it flies, it would eliminate the high-wear bottom hen, and nock orientation concerns, just like 4-fletch.

i'm thinking 1 o'clock/7 o'clock, but could fool with that.

I did some primitive arrows last year that where two fletch and they flew great. I think if your arrows are tuned right it don't really matter.

It sounds similar th the primitive eastern 2 fletch also known by other Indian names.
Give it some testing,and let us know how it works.
It is probably hard to beat the standard 3 fletch.

Just made some up with the 2 by 5 inch high cut banana style, and they fly great.  Quiet too.

ok.  results:

i thought 1/7 o'clock made the most sense, but as was said on the thread traxx sent me to,  5/11 works better.

it flies like a laser!  noticeably faster than 3, i think, but wish i still had my chrono from my reloader days.

rotates slower.  haven't tried broadheads or wet yet.

so far, though, i'm encouraged.
