do you run a straight fletch if you run 4? I guess you dont need a cock feather??? can you tell a difference in speed with 4?

I have shot 3 fletch for years (like 27+ years) and they shot great. And in that time I tried 4 fletch (I don't know what kind) amd they didn't shoot so good.

Last summer I tried the 4 fletch with 4"@60/120 and they flew great, just as good as the 3 fletch.

So I would say both.

I have tried a few four fletched, but they did not shot better than three (to me anyway) to justify the added cost... what can I say I am a cheapo.    ;)

Hey John; if you chop your own you can get two 4" from one full length feather so they are actually cheaper. And yes I shoot 4 fletch, 90x90.

I shoot 3's & 4's depends on the mood I'm in when I'm making arrows. I like both of them.  One things for sure mkes no matter which way a four is turned for nocking.

After reading this post I fletched a few arrows with 4 fletch. I have a Jo Jan fletcher and it will do 4 fletch by turning the nock reciever around. Mine puts 2 fletching close together on opposite sides of the shaft is this right and what is it called. I havent shot them yet but will try them tomorrow.
