Hey Gang,
I built a feather burner the other day and have playing around with different shapes.
I've found a shape that is basically silent.
I've shot "trad" shaped, shields, naners, and parabolic of different heights and lengths and have learned what makes a feather more quiet.
My real question is whether a feather that has a bit of a hiss...not a lot..talking more like the sound you get from a heavy helical 5" shield....
...is that noise going to make a lick of difference when hunting?...I'm talking whitetail mostly.
Fact is I have a shape that's very quiet...but I came up another shape that I really like the looks of...but it has a slight hiss I can't get rid of.
Kinda vain I know...but I think it would be fun to shoot a more unique fletch if it isn't going to affect hunting.
Thing is I know Howard Hill used a type of fletch shape that had to make a hiss sounds and he was a great hunter.
Just curious if any of you have ever noticed if making a difference.
There used to be a thread on here talking about it but it seems to be deleted.
Thanks
John
!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
