Ryan Jacob:
So right now, I’m using masking tape as a fletching. It works pretty good, but, it looks absolutely terrible. I can and will get feathers soon since my friend owns turkeys and is planning to eat one. In the mean time, will something like coconut leaves work? Or do you guys have any other ideas?

Pat B:
Palm and other plant leaves are used in some countries for fletching. I've seen primitive arrows with pine needles used as fletching.
Fletching is used steer and stabilize the arrow so many things can be used.

GlisGlis:
leaves would be probably a one shot solution as the will rip easily
maybe you could make a flu flu kinda with coconut fibers

Aaron H:
Rawhide can be used also

PEARL DRUMS:
You can get (50) 5" AMG solid color feathers for $20.
