They selected straight shafts, took off the bark, did a bit of carving where necessary, as it always was at least to cut a notch. Attached the point by tying it on, typically with the very end of the shaft split so the two halves pinched the point between them. The fletching was usually tied in place with thread, but could also have been glued.

What did Fletchers do in the Middle Ages?
AnswerThe same as they do today. A fletcher was the man who made the arrows - more specifically he cut and fitted the feathers, called the flight, to the rear end of the arrows. The words "fletcher" and "flight" are closely related. AnswerFletchers were common people, freemen and serfs. Their clothes and homes were like those of other simple folk. They used simple tools to make arrows, and these included carving tools and saws. They would probably get the points from smiths, though they might sharpen them themselves. They attached the points and feathers to the shafts of the arrows, which they made themselves, and might even have cut from trees themselves. The feathers would have come from larger fowl, such as geese, ducks, and chickens, and were tied on with very fine thread.
