How do you fletch your arrows?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Justin Snyder:
The curve is caused by the natural shape of the feather.  If it is right wing or left will determine if it curves left or right.  It also determines which way the arrow will spin and which way you need to apply them if you add any helicoil.  You can buy a fletching jig or just keep practicing by hand. You will get the hang of it and it will go faster with time.  Justin

i put my feathers onto a duct tape and cut them with scissors. on the duct tape you can draw the shape on the feather very easily.
then i glue them on the shaft by hand.
with a little training you can glue them as straight as with a fletching tool

I fletch by hand, it takes practice, but after a while it gets easier.
