One thing nice about the bananna cut is you can chop both LW & RW with thre same chopper.With other cuts they make specific chopper's for each wing.Like said I wouldn't mix LW and RW on the same arrow.

You might get away with it if you use a straight fletch tool.

Even if they were fletched straight right wing and left wing on the same arrow will fight against one another. At best you'll have very poor flight and accuracy. At worst the arrow will turn inside out and expose you to another dimension.

JRY309 said it.  Just because you can chop both doesn't mean you can use both on the same arrow.

Nothing like the "fletched" dimension!  I've used different cuts of the same wing on arrows just for grins and novelty but I agree with not using a different wing on the same arrow.
 Was at a Tbot shoot with an arrow fletched with 3 different kinds of 5" left wing feathers just for the heck of it. Caught some flack but shot it as good as any other arrow, meaning flying straight, no wobble, etc.(good arrow flight) just not where I intended now and then due to user error, not arrow error.  :) )   ;)    ;)    G'day all!!!
