These feathers are three in number on a given arrow. Fig.19 shows that one of these is placed at right angle to the bowstring slot; this is called the cock feather and is usually of adifferent color which makes it easier for the archer to nockthe arrow with this cock feather out or at right angles to thebow. The two others are called the hen feathers which areplaced at points 1200 from the cock feather and from eachother. Feathers on all arrows, wood or metal, are held in placeby cellulous cement. Feathers are rights and lefts, dependingon whether they are taken from the right wing or the leftwing of the bird. It makes no difference whether arrows arefletched with rights or lefts but the set of arrows should beall the same. |
