My father recently moved in with me and I gave him a bow for his birthday today. We got to talking shop and he said he wanted nothing to do with full length feathers or the sizes I have on hand. Tall short ones about 2" are what he shot way back. So I went about looking for some short fletching with some difficulty. Before I started cutting down my feathers I wanted to talk to a knowledgable person about what exactly is the difference in fletching lenghths. It must have more to do with than just drag. So I called 3 Rivers Archery only to find the brains on questions had left early. I figured whats one answer when I could have a few more? I searched the forum with no results. It would be very helpfull to me and the arrows I need to make for Pop if knowledgable members could give me a breakdown on fletching lenghths. Thanks
