I'm looking for a supplier for 4" Banana Fletching. Do you have any suggestions? I have a Young Burner and a 5.5" Little Chopper (Banana shape) that I can use, but I would rather purchase them cut and ready......I'm old and lazy! I've searched the interweb multiple times and I can't seem to find the 4" version????

Thanks in advance!

No, but you can adjust the chopper you have to make 4". That's what I did so that the profile wasn't so tall.

I have a small square rod I use as a spacer on my 5 1/2” Little Chopper to get them down to about 4 1/2”. That works fine, but I was want a pre-chopped 4” banana.

I just traced a shield cut feather and made a template. Then used the template to cut some turkey feathers off of a Tom that I shot, this past spring. Thing is, the template was oversized by way of the trace itself and therefore my feathers came out oversized. :rolleyes: They shot fine, but were a little noisy due to their size. Then I remembered the banana cut feathers and decided to cut the back or shield cut off with a pair of material scissors. :) They turned out pretty decent and flew just as good, but without the noisy "buzz" of the higher profile shield cut. :cool:

I decided to build the feathers myself. So, I ordered some full length feathers and added 1/8” square tubing to the chopper. Below are the results. Thanks to all who replied. I appreciate all the ideas!!

Amazon got them I found some before but they called it a different shape which I can’t remember. Look under fantasy style feathers I do know the Bearpaw has a 4” chopper but it’s really high in the middle I personally like extreme low profile banana. Just a whisper of feather on a shaft. Your arrow looks awesome BTW
