New 2 fletch arrows just arrived in the mail!
« on: July 08, 2013, 05:02:00 PM »
My new arrows just arrived in the mail! I'm pretty excited about these. 30" Gold Tip 35/55 trad blems from Big Jim's. These arrows are a steal and flawlessly put together. I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately it will be another week or two before I can shoot them     :banghead:   broken elbow and all.   [/url] [/IMG]  [/url] [/IMG]  [/url] [/IMG]
Thanks Big Jim!

I've never seen a two fletch before. Looks like Jim did a good job on them.

The pigmy's in New Guinnie (spelling) shoot an arrow with a leaf inserted in the shaft that become a two fletch and those dudes can shoot stuff 30-50 ft up in the trees.

I shot most of a tournament season with 2 fletched arrows. Most of the time they seem to fly well but they are not as forgiving as 3 or 4 fletch. It's a little like being halfway between bare shaft and full fletching. Good luck.

Well, they sure look differant!!!

Kinda intrigueing... A bag of 100 feathers doing 50 arrows... Sounds like a homerun!!!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

Yeah they are neat looking. I'm really excited to shoot them. Hey 2fletch I'm going to be ordering a quiver from you before too long!

Please report how they shoot. I am going to fletch up a bunch of 2 fletch and will shoot them together with my regular 3 fletch and see how they fair.

I'm skeptical that a two fletch will fly well with a bh.  I hope it works for you.

A friend of mine shoots a two fletch with a Simmons tree shark no issues with flight, David post a pic of your arras btw the arrows look great I just did up some axis with two 4" they fly great
All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us.

I have shot a 2 fletch with Centaur Battle Axes and cannot tell a difference in them and 3 fletch,  except for less noise and a little flatter trajectory(less drag) 20yd+, better fletch clearance in quiver.

That's all Jim Neaves at Centaur shoots.

I shoot 2 fletch on river cane pushing a Simmons Interceptor out of an Osage selfbow.  They fly great, until I get buck fever, and then a guided missle wouldn't  help!!!!!!

We did (and do.)  I shoot two fletch, often with bone broadheads.  Works just fine.

Looks interesting.  Please report on how they shoot.  

Two questions:
How do you align the feathers with the nock?
How to you align the feathers with the B.H.?
