- Back when I shot 2117s with Plastifletch off a flipper rest, all my arrows
- were fletched with the "cock feather" at 9 o'clock. I thought that
- that was the only way to 3-flecth.
-
- But now, shooting feather fletching off the shelf, I read in Jim Chinn's
- "Winds of Change" that he recommends putting a cock feather at 12 o'clock,
- with the other feathers at 4 and 8. Another author recommends the traditional
- 9, 1 and 5, but says to ignore orientation- it doesn't matter.
-
- Hmm. Puzzling. Any perspective from feather shooters?

- (Obvious advice of the week: My Saunders bow excerciser- a sort of slingshot handle
- with elastic bands that simulates drawing a bow- comes with a warning not to release
- the handle when the bands are drawn. I wonder if that's there for a reason?)
