The main thing is that each arrow is fletched the same.The feathers should be all rights or all lefts. They should beof the same thickness, they should be spaced as nearly as pos-
sible at 1200 from each other, they should be at right anglesfrom the arrow (not leaning to the right or the left) and,what is more important, they should be cut or trimmed tothe same size. The shape of the feathers has undergone many changes.The first records show that no attempt was made to trim themto any desired shape (see Fig. 20a). The old English archerstrimmed them to triangles (Fig. 20b). Before World War Ithe prevailing style was called balloon fletching (Fig. 20c).The present style is parabolic (Fig. 2od). The whims offuture archers will no doubt create other designs. |
