Hi,
I recently bought some 2 1/4 inch shield fletches and found that, while they were all the right length, the width of the fletches (from the quill-line to the highest point of the fletch) could vary considerable, sometimes by as much as 5mm.
So, three questions:
1) Will variable fletching width make that much difference to an arrow's flight?
2) If it does, should I be trying to trim fletches to a consistent size?
3) If I can't be bothered to do 2 (highly likely), can anyone recommend a supplier with better quality control? (The fletches came from a reputable supplier but had no branding.)
Thanks
Steve
