Well, I've seen banana cut on other arrows and they looked great. But, for some reason the cut doesn't seem to go with my crest/cap/crown pattern. I think if I didn't cap the shafts they may look okay, the way I bleed the cap, but I like to bleed the cap. Not sure, the arrows aren't finished yet, the jury is still out. Could be, and probably is, just because I've not used banana cut before. They just look different. Could be the color scheme I used too. Well, I suppose I shouldn't say never. One thing about the banana cut, you have to watched to make sure your helical alignment is correct. Easy enough to do.
I wouldn't throw my chopper out, if I had one. I just like the shield cut better. I'm thinking of trying the pope and young cut. I'll probably end up trying all the cuts eventually. I like to experiment. One cut I don't really care for is the high back parabolic. The standard profile parabolic looks good but the high back gives sort of a flu-flu appeal to the arrow.
Anyway, we'll see how they do when I put them in flight. The banana may turn in to a "Cinderella". Hope so.
