Hogsback Arrows
« on: August 04, 2010, 06:40:08 pm »
This may be the wrong forum but is hogsback a style of fletching used in conjuncture with an EWB? I am making some new arrows and was curious. Thanks in advance.

I saw a video of a guy shooting a warbow with what was called a hogsback arrow and it seemed to have a rounded  back to the fletching, where a normal english arrow is pointed.

The hogback fletching was one of the popular styles mentioned by Ascham, along with square shorn, triangle, saddleback and round. It is also one of the most popular today but should be fine with an EWB.

Thanks for the help. I made one today and will see what the difference is between the two once I get some bodkins put on!

Would Hogsback arrow/fletchings be the same as banana cut fletchings?
