Primitive Arrows With Feathers

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.
