Medieval Fletch Making
« on: June 07, 2012, 04:37:17 pm »
I am making my first set of Medieval arrows and having a first go at preparing full length fletches for my arrows.  Does anyone have a template or any information on trimming down the full length feathers to the traditional Medieval style? I have found a blueprint on the Warbow Wales website, but am unable to find a what I am looking for.

Check out the post for the Cnadian Warbow Society and follow the link to their site...or just google their site.  If you click on the arrow options they have some nice line drawings of different arrow styles and fletchings.
