Those look like a 2.25 " shield back Truflight...

Hey Charlie - nice looking arrows, interesting feather profile.  Is that a custom chopper or are you burning them that shape?

Sorry guys I forgot about this post.

I am relatively new at making arrows and found an old feather burner, figured I would give it a try.  

Normally I shoot 3 fletch but thought for a hunting arrow I should have more stability just in case I flub up on the release.

I guess you can call this design a High-Back Shield.  they came out to about 3 inches long (a little by accident) but I figured would be close to three 4 inch shield cuts.

I was trying for a combination of a shield cut and a parabolic cut but wanted it to be taller instead of longer.

They seem to fly good for me so I I'll keep the wire in that shape.

Y'all make some beautiful arrows.  I'd like to try my hand at some 4 fletch banana feathers one day.

       

Great pics Charlie!

pretty cool! do you have a cock feather straight out? or one feather in the corner of the shelf?

The one of the ground squirrel is awesome!

Charlie, that last one doesn't count.          Great photos as always.

Funny.. I guess blood doesn't stick too the Tradgang.com....lol

Awesome pics Mr. Lamb!

I've never used 4" feathers with four fletch, but they seem to be popular.  Snag, those are some really great looking arrows!

Thanks Bernie. I switched to 4 4" fletching from the recommendation of an experienced bowhunter friend. I really like the way they fly and they are quiet. I don't have to look at my arrow to nock it properly like I would with a 3 fletch too.

I just mailed a dozen of these to the guys in Afganistan. 75 x 105 fletching.

4x5" shields.  75/105.

It never took another step.
 

Closest thing to a hog I've shot so far.
