Target Cherokee Two Fletch

<< < (2/2)

bjrogg:
Thanks Rob. I’m not sure why, but it really is quite. Maybe it’s the tail feathers? Maybe the orientation? Whatever it is it’s very quiet.

Allyn T  it’s pretty simple once you figure out it. The trickiest part is stripping the fletch and really that’s easy when you figure it out.

I was thinking next time I might try a build along for how I do it.

As far as the spiral goes. The front of the fletch gets wrapped top and bottom of shaft. (Arrow notched on string) the front of the fletch is striped so fletch is only on one side of quill. About half way back the fletch is where I start to strip it. And from there back fletch is on both sides of quill.

The rear of fletch is wrapped to the sides of arrow. I like to do it so front of tail feathers ( as on the turkey) are against shaft and rear of tail feathers is facing outward. I think you could do it either way but it seems to keep loose part of quill close to shaft this way and I think the spiral is a little neater.

Allyn T:
Do you glue it or wrap the middle at all on yours?

bjrogg:
No I don’t glue or wrap middle

Don W:
I definitely want to try this. Just a few more pictures of the fletch will help.

bjrogg:
I’m going to try to do a arrow build along here soon. I’m building one now and trying to get pictures as I go to explain what I’m doing. Hopefully they will post and I can get it done soon. That stuff is always easier said than done.
