Why don't arrow feathers hit the bow?
Arrow feathers, or fletchings, are designed to stabilize the arrow's flight by creating spin, which helps maintain accuracy. The bowstring propels the arrow forward, causing it to flex and clear the bow upon release. Additionally, the spacing and orientation of the fletchings are carefully calibrated to ensure they do not interfere with the bow, allowing for a clean release without obstruction. This design ensures that the fletchings pass safely around the bow while still providing the necessary aerodynamic benefits.
Can you fletch an arrow without a fletching jig?
yes, but is you want your fletchings to be in the correct place needed you need a fletching jig
What is the tip of the arrow called?
That depends on which end: the plastic thing where your fletchings are is called a nock. The front piece where you put the tip on is a arrowhead or point.
Do different size arrow shoot farther?
Most definately. The length the arrow flies is also affect by the vanes or fletchings on the arrow, the smaller the less drag, but the weather is one of the major factors of course.
What type of bow and arrow did Robin Hood use?
Robin Hood is traditionally depicted as using a longbow and wooden arrows with feather fletchings. The longbow was a powerful weapon known for its accuracy and range, making it a popular choice for archers in medieval England.
What is the name of every bow and arrow?
Bow types: - Takedown recurve, these are given their name because they can be taken apart and reattached, making them very portable. They are recurved. They are often seen with sights and stabilisers. These are used in the olympics. - Compound bow, these are small bows that use pulleys to allow for normal draw length, they are nearly always seen with sights and stabilisers. American hunters often use these. - One-piece recurve, they are recurved. They never use sights and stabilisers. They have an arrow shelf. - Mongolian/Scythian recurve, these are used mostly by horse-archers. They are recurved. They never use sights and stabilisers. They have no arrow shelf. - English Longbow, these are given their name because an "official" English Longbow is usually at least 6ft tall. They are D section and thus not recurved. They never use sights and stabilisers. These are used my medieval reenactors. - American Flatbow, given their name because they have flat limbs. Sometimes wrongly called 'Longbows', they are D section and are therefore not recurved. They never use sights and stabilisers. Arrows will have different fletchings (feathers on the back), piles (heads) and shafts, the shafts are simply stiffer or more flexible to adapt to the strength of the bow. Arrow types: Fletchings - Long fletchings, these increase drag and short range accuracy but reduce range. - Short fletchings, these reduce drag and are useful for long-range shots, but will not be reliable at short range. - Flu-flu fletchings, these have a very fluffy look and are designed to massively increase drag for bird shooting, so that misses will not stray far from the perch/tree/rock they are shot at. Piles - Field, these are the standard for target shooting and are the most frequently used. - Hunting, these are used to kill wild game with their triangular heads that cause massive bleeding and cut through vital organs. - Bodkin, these look like elongated pyramids, and are desinged for piercing armour. In England there is a historical rule that if you bring bodkin arrows to any practice, they must immediately be destroyed as they intended for killing. - Fishing, these barbed heads are designed to skewer fish and hold onto them, until they are dragged back by the user.
What kind of arrow should you shoot from your Jennings buckmaster compound bow?
Dude, you can shoot like any arrow as long as its long enough. Just check the pounds of your bow and find arrows that match the poundage. If your hunting with the compound though I would suggest carbon arrows because they hold up better. My favorite to shoot are wooden arrows with legitimate feather fletchings, but there expensive

How did the apalachee tribe bows and arrows looked like?
Apalachee hunters and warriors used tall, powerful bows of hickory or bois d'arc (Osage orangewood), up to 72 inches long, some with a very unusual string made from a strip of cane - the Choctaws sometimes made their bows this way. Arrows were proportionately long - about 29 or 30 inches, made of hardwood shoot and tipped with a piece of deer antler for the arrowhead. Turkey wing feathers were used for the fletchings, cut down to 5.5 inches long and 3/8 inch tall.
What kind of arrows did ancient Egyptians use?
Unlike bows, which changed and evolved over time, ancient Egyptian arrows remained similar throughout the 3000 years of their history. Arrow shafts were made of reeds inset with 8 inch (20 cms) hardwood foreshafts, with flint, ivory, bone or bronze heads and feather fletchings. Some arrowheads were made with a flat end instead of a point, these were used for hunting birds and small animals. Arrows were made between 34 and 37 inches (86 to 94 cms) long, indicating that the bows were at least twice as long. See links below for images:
What are a feather on a arrow called?
There are usually 3 feathers or fletchings on an arrow. As few as 2 or as many as 4 can be used, but 3 is normal for modern arrows. The 3 feathers are positioned equally at 120 degrees from each other. The different coloured feather is traditionally called the "cock feather" but in modern times the alternative name "index feather" can be used, depending on the audience. At the back end of an arrow, there is a "nock" which can be a plastic "U" or just a groove in the back of the arrow which fits around the string of the bow to hold the arrow onto the string. The index vane is attached to the arrow at right angles to this nock, so when the arrow is on the bow, the index feather is pointing away from the bow. The other two feathers will be able to pass the bow without obstruction.
