kenneth, i wouldn't consider it a novelty, two-fletches have been around as long as three fletches (i think
). the advantages for me are:
1. they're easier to make without jigs
2. you need less material
3. can't prove it yet, but they appear somewhat faster to me, without loosing accuracy.
4. you can fit more of them into the same quiver
5. i likes them
benjamin, thanks. when you make the next set, try half with and half without helical. then continue the style you like best. looking at my native amercan archery books, i find about as many without, as i find with helical spin (unless my memory tricks me
)
peter, could't talk my son into it
but here's a picture for you. different quiver but same style. i sometimes wear it on the right and sometime on the left.
