Default RE: Non-aligned Fletching

ORIGINAL: Arthur P

That was getting to be quite the fad a few years back, then it kinda faded away. The theory is it gives close tothe same stabilizingeffect of using much larger fletching. With Blazers, the distance from the forward-most fletch to the most rearward would equal about 5" vanes.I've tried it and it seems to work fine. Just looks odd.
Don't laugh, (well, go ahead if you have to...) but I wonder if it creates a similar effect as a flock of geese. They fly in a V formation and the effect of the lead bird breaking the air makes it more aerodynamicallyefficient for the ones behind it, and so on, etc... or something like that.
