  • A revised version of a video we did many many years ago about our exclusive `Big Jig` Fletching jig, designed to Fletch those larger feathers for larger arrows, particularly Medieval style arrows etc.
    We hand make them here in the Bowyer`s workshop, we try to keep them in stock, but they take a while to make, so please be patient, heere is a link to the item on our shop...

    Oh wow, that big jig would be perfect for Manchu arrows (I'd guess that's probably what your customer is after it for)

    When fletching with no jig, or generally, should flethcing be straigth along, or scewed a little to cause the rotation of the arrow, or does using only left/right fethers do that along?

      Essentially is straight, but each one is hand made so can vary slightly, its not adjustable.

      It's designed with that diameter and up, so medieval style in general.

    So, seriously, do you know why one would want 12" feathers? Feudal Japanese presentation arrows? I some of these in a feudal Japan exhibit

    • @greenjack1959l
      @greenjack1959l Před 3 lety

      Its for Atlatl darts. Light fletched javelins thrown with a launcher that acts as an extension of your arm, known as an Atlatl or a woomera.
