Southeastern four fletch

(1/6) > >>

Pat B:
After reading about these a few days ago(I can't remember who posted about these  :-[ ::) ) I found the article in PA(Vol 6, Iss 3, pg.6) and thought I'd give it a try. I had a cane arrow already made and had taken the fletching off so I decided to try this 4 fletch(actually only 2 feathers) on this arrow. I did as the article suggested and this is what I came up with.
   I used dog bane to wrap the cane fore and aft of the fletching. This is a first for me also. I haven't used dog bane before. I was unsure of the rear wrap below the nock so I also added a bit of sinew just below the nock for insurance.
   The arrow shoots well and with a bit more R/D it should make for a good primitive fletching method.
   Enjoy!     Pat

The cane shaft was split through the throat of the nock and also perpendicular to it. The feathers were inserted into the split so one side of each feather came out of each split. Once in place I bound the shaft above and below the fletching to hold it all together.
