The Little Chopper is available in 3" shield and parabolic.

I use a 5" chopper to make 3" slightly modified parabolics.  Cut your feather to 3" first, then chop the back end.  Move the feather to the front and chop that.  It's that simple, of course you have to have a chopper longer than 3" to start with.

I bought a 3" shield cut little chopper at the trad bow show in Kalamazoo a couple years ago.  I've had good luck with it, it's just as easy to use as my 5" chopper.  I've been using my left over pieces from the full length feathers. I've done 3 fletch and 4 fletch with the 3 inchers and had good results with both.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
