        I just got a feather chopper that cuts “Tradtional” shaped feathers! Here are a few POCs that I refletched using that shape! Arrows fly real nice and I really like the shape as an alternative to shield cuts!

          Nice work ripforce. Is that a convex type of cut? What model/make did you buy for a cutter?

            The make is a Little Chopper and the cut is called Traditional, it is alot lot like the Medival type arrows they get a lot of Heilical to them and they slantback real sharp, you have to locate them allittle farther down the shaft because of the drastic angle at the back! I shot them today in high wind at 3D targets they stabilize real well and shot great!

                      Rip.. I like that – Beautiful work! I’m going to have to get me a Traditional chopper…..

                      Like your “arrow signature” too.

                        Very nice! About six months ago I tried the same thing only I didn’t have a chopper so I used scissors to cut some 5 1/2 shields. It turned out ok but not quite so nice as yours. Mine are a little rough looking.

                        But, shooting at an indoor range, I had a friend tell me which arrows he could hear the loudest. He could not tell the difference between shields and the “traditional” shape. Now that I have seen these, I’m gonna do up some more! I do love this type of shape.

                          I love the shape and they stabilize real well on my wood arrows! My son has banana cutter and I did some of those up too they look and fly real nice!
