Myself I like them wrapped up to the split they stay tight better and are quieter ,but everyone has their own thing !

Nice First Attempt. I would go with a wing feather over a tail feather for better flight dynamics. Other than that not bad...

That looks pretty good to me. The Eastern Woodland 2fletch can fly as well as any arrow and tail feathers were traditional.
 Try mounting your feathers so they lay inside out on the shaft. The feathers seem to hug the shaft better that way.

Looks good 4dog, a self nock would be more authentic though.  ;) You shot it yet? dp

I'm a fan of two fletch with tail feathers!  Something smooth about the flight of an arrow with tail feathers.

a self nock would be more authentic though.  ;)

     Looking good! 8)  Like Pat said, turn them over, so the outside is against the shaft.  Personally, I would go with a smaller diameter thread, like an upholstery thread, or a rayon thread, and soak it in super glue, and when dry lightly sand them, smooth, with a 150-200 grit wet/dry sand paper.  Just my own little preference.  Very nice though. ;)  I like them.  The two fletch, like it was said, will fly as well as a three fletch, and is much easier to to do!   ;)  There fore, you can do a bunch of shafts, in the evening, and go to work the next day, and come home clean up, eat dinner, and fletch them that evening! ;) 8) ;D  Yep, I like em! 8)
