My Fletching Yarns...
« on: April 01, 2016, 03:13:44 pm »
Just rambling and fletching here:

I had a client make a big order of 15 arrows so I thought I'd try and show off my fletching prowess! LOL

Those feathers are from a turkey originally, but goose is also just as good, and authentically medieval too. i have pheasant too but it's a bit too wee alas.

There's always gaffer tape for fletchings if all else fails...

Nice!
Korean arrows use pheasant, I think. The fletchings are rather small, though. Obviously, since they shoot at 145m...

Looks good I like the fletching jig gives me an idea to build one like that.

Yeah there's only one guy in the UK that makes these. Most of the others seem to be US-made diagonal things.
