My buddy chopped 36 shields to fletch a dozen cedars. Every one of them was pointing the wrong way when loaded in the chopper. All worthless.

Yeah, done it—bet it is noisy when fully fletched and shot.   Like having a parachute.

So since I last posted I Tried to match the orginal post. But I did it with right wing feathers in a left jig!! I had somehow put a package of right wing feathers in one of my left wing storage boxes. I have a left wing cock feather and two right wing hen feathers on this arrow. What is weird is these 4” feathers look like I straight fletched them. Really did not realize I errored until I happened to look at the package. What the heck, I try it.

At least it was your first arrow.  I recently fletched 6 with dyed Turkey feathers and the wrap did not hold on any of them.  18 nice feathers ruined.
