Sweet looking helical on those. Bet they will fly great. Thanks for the post almost inspired me to fletch some when I saw the picture. Literally zero artistic skill in these hands so I usually get my local shop to fletch them. Don't get menwrong I tried, but I just don't like shooting ugly arrows hahahahah

Thanks,
Adam

Do you use glue or tape? I like the twist in the feathers...

Good job on the arrows. Nice and bright.

I never thought of four fletch except with the flu flu's. I may have to give it a try.

Like the arrows.Does the four fletch slow the arrow down at all?

lpcjon I tested 4 fletch compared to 3 fletch on my chrono and found no speed difference at all. Unscientific; but there it is.

Nice! I'll bet those look cool spinning down range. I use 4" 4-fletch also, but with all the same color. I'll have to try some alternating colors like that.

Snag got me started on the 4 fletch arrows and I have fallen in love with them.

I'll never buy 3 fletch again.

Nice Job on your arrows and great pictures.

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

I believe that four 4" shield cut feathers have the same surface area as three 5" shields.  I really like the 4 fletch.  I think if there is any loss in speed it's minimal  I shoot 75x105 configuration, but would like to try 60x120, once I figure out how to do it on a Bitzenburger.  I know I read about it somewhere on TG.  

Another added benefit is no cock feather to deal with, so you don't have to look down to nock the arrow on the string.

Arrows look great. Four fletch seem to control broadheads as well as three fletch, but seem quieter, no whistle.

Nice job.  I'll look forward to when you show one all covered in red.
