I love JC's spliced! For my own arrows, I like a 5" medium or low shield cut. When I come to anchor, I feel that corner in my mouth...not a good solid consistant way to anchor, but I am a bit unorthodox in just about every field!
Color choice depends on shaft color, my mood and what is on hand.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I like the looks and flight of 5" shield cut. Colors depend on what color scheme I am doing at the time. Right now I am making some spruce arrows crowned brown, crested with black,gold,and orange. Fletched with natural barred orange and cock feather is brown. Nock is orange....fall colors. Not good stump shooters because they will blend in too well! But I think they are going to be purdy!

Right now Im at 3 5's but seriously debating going to 4 4's colors right now are red/whitebarred hen's and black cock feather. Really like them cool colors and easy to see white nock and wraps help to.
