4x4" 90 degrees. I have found parobolics to be quiter than sheilds. I am gonna try 4 3" this year.  I can get 2 4" out of a full length feather with enough for a flu flu left over.
It's not the arrival, it's the journey.

3x5...shield cut left wing feathers. I fletch them with a 2/3 degree off set. I use fletch tape with a dab of glue on each end of the fletched arrow.

Now then, get your weapons ~ your quiver and bow ~ and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27.3
