Title: Arrow Fletching
Post by: Zach Mikita on March 23, 2009, 11:13:00 AM
I am wondering if anyone has a good visual demonstration of how to fletch an arrow?  I am planning on showing this to beginners and have been looking for a thurough visual demonstration.  I plan on showing them, but I want something I can put up while doing the demonstration.

Zach, Everyone learns best in there own way. For me I just had someone show me how to do it while sitting at a 36 arrow fletching wheel and after a few arrows I had the basics down. If you can show some video on a screen others make like this. Are you teaching a class? Be careful with the glue.....

It's kind of a neighborhood class(12).  LOL  I love hunting and especially with my bow and if someone wants to learn something I want to teach them.  Very true...I have learned that everyone is different.  What I think I'm going to do is run a video, demonstrate, and put together a paper packet that they can take home and reference when they need too.

You are hitting on all the main type of learning techniques. Very nice. I wish I lived in an area where how to fletch arrows was taught by somebody in the neighborhood! Way to go spreading the trad archery word!

I really wish I had land that I could take people out hunting on and a little for me as well  :)  I almost went to guide school, but I decided to go to school to be a park ranger...for now   :confused:
