Feather cuts
« on: September 06, 2013, 09:28:00 PM »
Hi guys,

   I'm wondering if there is any difference in feathers cuts, and if any one cuts affects flight more then another? Also what cut do you prefer?

The shape doesn't affect anything. Only the size of the feather. The larger, the more wind drag. I use both shield cut and parabolic cut. Parabolic do seem to be quieter.

parabolic and shield will be the quietest of the shapes out there. Like VictoryHunter said I also choose parabolic as I think they are quieter than the shield.
