Kjikakakuj:
   I'm putting out feelers for possible local feather sources, but want to shoot right now. What are some of the alternative fletching materials that have worked for you. In one of the posts I saw duct tape, andheard referance to bark. Birch bark? Would leaves work? Cardboard?

   Inerested in what you hsave to say.

mitchman:
im interested too so im going to leave a post .

Pat B:
I've seen primitive arrows made with pine needles swirled around the shaft for fletching. Anything that will add drag to the rear of the shaft will work. Adding a heavier point will help some too.   Pat

mullet:
  I've seen arrows with heavier points that do not need fletching inside of 10 to 15 yards.

mitchman:
anyone ever try summer coat deer hide strips with fir on swirreled around the end. it did this just cuz it looked kool on a crappy wooden arrow and it worked. it might act as like a flu flu feather or something
