Fletching Arrows

A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Fletch Arrows

Step 1: Get out your arrow fletching tools

Step 2: Strip and clean your arrow of the old fletching

  1. Measure or mark the beginning and end-point of the existing fletching material so that you can replace it exactly.
  2. Take a sharp knife and strip the existing fletching off of the arrow shafts, peeling them from the bottom up. Be careful not to scrape or damage the shaft.
  3. Clean the shaft with rubbing alcohol to remove all remaining residue and to allow the new glue to adhere to the shaft.

Step 3: Select fletching materials – Vanes and feathers

  • Secure your clean arrow shaft in the clamp.
  • Apply fletching glue along the base of the arrow shaft where you measured the location of the previous fletching material.
  • Attach the replacement fletching material to the shaft and allow to dry
  • Clean off any excess glue.

Feathers vs. Vanes

      • Feathers tend to be more durable than vanes but can be louder in flight.
      • Vanes are more delicate but less noisy in flight. Arrow vanes also are available in lots of different colors.
      • Fletching Glue for attaching the new material
      • Note: You can also purchase a roll-on cresting kit which can be a quicker solution.
