Lets see some Fletching
« on: October 13, 2010, 09:44:00 AM »
Hello,

I am almost done fletching my arrows.  I was trying to decide how to maniupulate my feather burner.

So lets see em.  Show me your fletching!

If you are curious, my arrows are being fletched with 4", 4 fletch natural turkey and white barred feathers. I was hoping for a little more white in the barred feathers but They're looking good so far.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Yup, that's what he asked for: pink   :bigsmyl:  

Both those sets were donated to cancer survivors.

These are some tapered ACME POC shafts.

These fletchings are from a turkey I was fortunate to have killed.

That's cool guys. I was thinking about some type of shield cut or Pope and Young Cut. Ken and Killie, so far I like the way yours were cut.
Relax,

Sure glad I have not developed the skills that many of you have. I just wouldn't want to shoot them. Many seem to be treasured art.

Friend, all modesty aside, I do hear that occasionally:
 "Your arrows are too pretty to shoot."
The way I look at is this, pretty arrows shoot just as well as ugly ones, why not have something special?

That's why I like ugly arrows.....they are easy to shoot and I don't feel bad when I break or loose one!
