My first time fletching arrows. (Pics)
« on: January 11, 2012, 09:33:00 PM »
Well, after getting a fletching jig, ordering some feathers, glue, arrow wraps, etc; I gave fletching my first half-dozen arrows a shot this morning.

I went with a copperhead arrow wrap from OneStringer, a black nock, brown feathers, and red-barred feathers. Used the bohning Fletch tape and put a drop of glue on each end of the feather.

Thank you stringstretcher from Virginia for donating the brown feathers to me when I couldn't find any for sale anywhere.
