how i make 2 fletch arras..lots o pics.

[michbowguy]

i do the same.
i use tail feathers for last resort, they are reall good looking!
besides, if the feathers you use came off bigger birds or are stiff and have a tendency to lift in the middle, just tie them down in the middle. no harm no foul, plus if the front or back break or come out , its just something extra holdin' on the the feather.

dana, thanks man.  i waited at the computer since you said you'll post a picture

i think it looks great, however, i think you made the same mistake i made.  you used the "belly" side towards the shaft and i think it's supposed to be the other way around.  at least that's how i understood art.  and you could move the thick part of the quill further to the side for some helical twist.

but is till think it looks very nice.  good job.  love the red wrapping.

[DanaM]

I need to see how it flies, looks like the snow is done, hopefully can get some shooting in.
This is a big boo shaft weighs in at 800+ grains and is way to stiff of spine but what the heck
see what it does anyhow.

[DanaM]

Dusty it actually flew pretty good, noisy as all heck but it flew. Think yer right I did it upside down and backwards

[Dustybaer]

no, you just employed differing techniques
