Some people may disagree, but feathers need not be split or from the wings to be effective on arrows!
Take a look at the picture to the left.
Lashed like this, even a flat tail feather can be used. There is very little preparation to be done to make this an effective fletching!
The advantages of this style are as follows:
- You could use 1 or 2 feathers, depending on your situation.
- Just a single wrap is needed to secure.
- The top is free to be pushed to one side or the other to clear the arrow shelf, the archers hand or full quiver.
Give it a try and let me know what you think, and if you need more information on this style let me know.

So much knowledge
It’s the back to basics that we need to share again and OWA covers that and more, I can see the support growing, so much knowledge.
