I dont like how big the 5 1/2in high profile banana fletches are, so do they make a 4 or 5in banana fletch? im not interested in the low profile, just looking for standard profile banana in 4 or 5in? thanks guys!!

I cut my own 3" bananas and they work fine. I can get an extra piece out of each full length feather. They are a bit more low profile, but they work fine.

Pick up a feather burner, and you can make whatever you want to.

Jerry,
How are you cutting those 3" bananas? Can you post a pic of them?

I took my regular 5 1/2" Little Chopper and by adding shims where the blade attaches, and modifying the lower aluminum guide, I was able to get mine to cut 4 1/2" feathers.

I used the shim approach on my chopper also. You can get them down to 3", but I suggest just spend the money and get them from Magnus and save yourself the headache.
I used popcicle sticks and electric coping saw to create the shim...If you place the hurl of the feather on the shim it is moved up into the chopper thus creating a smaller chopped feather. Mess around with it until you get the desired length. EZPZ!
