fletching orientation
Fri, 09/11/2009 - 03:19
Hi all. New to the forum with a quick question. Just graduated (or demoted) myself from a compound to dabbling with a longbow. I'm having trouble with fletching clearance off the shelf. Is there a preferred way to orient the cock feather to the nock? As in cock perpendicular to string or left or right. Just curious what works for others. |
Are you shooting fletchings or feathers? I dont think I ever had a problem with feathers since they give and have never shot an arrow with anything else off the shelf.
Shooting feathers. Seems like they are showing a bit too much wear on the tips. I raised the nock a bit and it seems to help. I'll keep experimenting till I get it right. Seems like tuning a longbow takes alot more trial and error. Thanks for the reply and any tips you have.
I shoot all my cock feathers out. I also shoot a 2 piece pad as to leave a small void in the corner of shelf for the hen feather to run down. I fletch my arrows then turn the hen to run down the void. The cock feather will still be out to some degree.
