Alternative to feather fletch?

(1/4) > >>

zenmonkeyman:
I was wondering about squirrel, skunk, fox, etc. tails skinned out and glued raw around the back of an arrow to stabilize its flight.  Anybody try this?

Pat B:
Anything that adds resistance to the airflow will work as fletching.

shikari:
Parchment was used by turkish  archers in the flight arrows.

HoBow:
I've read somewhere, maybe here, about leather being used, but I always thought that would be heavy.  Can't say for sure as I have never tried it though.  ;)

bowkee:
I always wondered about thin leather and a 2 fletch.Phillip
