Never have feather fronts peel up from regular use or even shoot throughs! This class teaches you to design your own flight profiles. Easily reuse flights and thread from broken arrows to recycle on other arrows.
No need for expensive, smelly, electric modern feather burners or noisy choppers. This process is plausibly period throughout (including documentation of some parts) and thus can be done camping or without electricity.
Students may bring their own note-taking materials, sharp scissors, and x-acto knife if they prefer their own tools, but all fletching materials will be provided.
