Fletching preference: 2, 3, 4? Shape? Size?

[Hoyt]

3, 3", shield cut wild turkey feathers.

I've shot two fletch as a result of earlier discussions here.  With field point it worked fine.  Never shot a broadhead with it.  It sure was quieter in the quiver.

I used 5.5" shields since that is what I have, besides 4".

Chuck, I'm shooting 190 gr Simmons Interceptors on mine with the 5" shield two fletch and they are flying great.  Shoot just like my field points.  I love the look of banana feathers and I may give them a try next time I buy feathers, but I'll probably stick with the two fletch with them as well.

Post some pix of a deer you take with them !

i know you have been talking carbons etc,
but i have tried these 2 fletch before on my primitive arrows
the"south eastern Indian 2 fletch"
 

normally i shoot 3 fletch 5" set up to shoot the "rick welch" style of shooting

[fujimo]

Pat B also shoots these two fletch.seen some really nice primitive arrows made by him. A side track I know- sorry.
I know you are referring to carbon and Ali arrows

I did 2 fletch for a season. Field points seemed fine but I shoot the magnuas ma 1 broeadheads and it seemed like they didn't stabilize as well as 3 fletch. My bareshafts shot really well so I don't think it was a spine thing.

Hoyt, your three 3" shield cut turkey feather fletching looks awesome.  What arrow and what grain are you using?

[Babbling Bob]

Just use ordinary everyday three fletch with 4-inch feathers.  Always used two red and a yellow feather since 1962 and have not changed. Never cared for 5-inch feathers.
