Awesome video! That is a very clean and attractive duct tape fletch, nice work. Even in the standard color the fletching compliments the wood arrow nicely. Good job with the arrow rest as well.

Terry, I am doing my fletching with your method, which is excellent, with one additional step: I put a small rectangular piece of transparency film (the ones used some years ago to print presentations on them and present them with a transparency projector) inside the folding of the tape so when I cut the “feather” it is stiffer. It makes them better and last longer. Hope this helps. Fico

Makes sense, thanks to you I won't be spending much on arrows anymore. It's nice to save money, I'm 22 years young and hoping to make this a lifelong hobby, so every penny counts. Thanks again Terry.

Great video, Terry. You and Nick have started a Bowyer Rensissance within the DIY community. Thank you.

I tried this method and it worked great! One variation I made which made it even easier was as follows: After folding each piece of tape, instead of drawing the shape with a template, I just folded at the pieces and stuck then one to the other in a perfectly aligned stack. Then I just cut all three at once without needing a template since they all come out identical anyway.

I still refer to this instructional video. So well done, I've been meaning to look for more videos you might have. Very clear, smooth, straight and to the point. So marvelously done Sir. Keep up the great tips and tricks

Terry, that was EXCELLENT! Your attention to detail is wonderful!

Cool ...I was about to buy another dozen arrows...cause my fletchings are all peeling off.. This video DIY , saved me $85

Terry, fantastic work, and stellar presentation. The combination of your pass-through rest and the innovative duct tape vanes are an elegant and refreshing solution. Thumbs up!

Great video Terry! Excellent camera work and voice over! Perfect delivery of useful information. All KZfaq DIYers should be taking notes! well done!

Terry I enjoyed your instruction. Very nice. No background music , these kids think they are cool with their lousy crap music. Your demeanour is calming and very professional. Thank you. G. S. Gibbs.

Great crafting idea. Always good to see another way of doing things! I've made very serviceable "blade over shaft" broadheads with a tin can lid.

I just made my first one using your method. It is fantastic! This is how I'll fletch my homemade arrows from now on.

Watched a lot of videos on this technique but this is just so simple, reliable and most professional looking result I've seen, but probably the easiest and most elegant of them all too. Hats off to you good sir.

Very well laid out video. The time in instruction was excellent. The step by step tutorial was spot on. It allows the one who wishes to learn to actually learn from the instruction. Continue to do more of such instructional tool's for us who wish to learn. Thank u for ur time.

Great video. Your instructions are clear and to the point. I could listen to your calm voice teach anything. Very professional.

Great idea... clearly explained. Superb production values and editing. You have raised the bar for KZfaq self-produced DIY videos. Thanks for all the work.... because I know it was a lot of work.

Fantastic video Mr. Ross. Not only is the content excellent, the quality of the filming and editing is as well. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Terry is good at making ‘stuff’ and I really enjoyed this video. Awesome stuff!

YOU are a true Do-it-yourselfer!! That is excellent! Great job sir. (Kimberly- GM Grayling Outdoor Products)

Hi Terry. I recently wondered about alternative materials to use on this application .Thank you so much for your creative knowledge.

I liked your video. Very informative & precise. You're direct to the point. No B.S. like many other bloggers. Thanks

That's really clean craftsmanship Terry. Excellent job. Good ideas, too. Thanks.

Great ideas with your tooling/jigs, simple and effective. Thanks for the video!

Man is it refreshing to see people giving credit for other peoples work/ideas.

Formal, proffesional, no distracting music, elegant, perfect

Really great! I did something similar with Walmart arrows when the cheap rubberized fletching fell off. But i like this method better. Very precise and yet simple

Nice video. And you have the kindest voice in the world. You should be on the radio...

Finally a video that explains everything step by step. Thanks I liked it!

Congratulations, simple, easy and simple, I was making knots in my brain, but you have given me 10 points to your video and to the instructions

Great presentation Terry. You take your time and explain things as you go along. I see where there are a few posters "getting into bow & arrow" these days and some of the plder posts as well. Hopefully they don't end up with 7 bows and over 200 arrows, 2 hard cases, triggers, 3 finger gloves, oh man, the list goes on and on.. The best thing about bow and arrows is they're quiet.. You can take out a bad guy or hunt with it almost as well as you can with a decent rifle. I think the image of your buddy grabbing the arrow shaft and trying to pull it out of his chest is more terrifying then seeing that he took a shot from a rifle and you can patch it up.. Ohh, and with the rifle, they know where you're at.. A decent bow, not so much.. I can also shoot my bows right outside my shop in my backyard in the middle of a neighborhood and nobody even knows I'm out there. Try doing that with a .357 magnum pistol..

Great Vid Terry Thank's for the post I've been Bow hunting 41 year's but I've not tryed tape or PVC for a bow but I'm going too. Regards: Rod

wow great and detailed step by step video!!! thanks so much for you're time and station. blessings

Thanks for sharing this cheap neat and effective method of fletching, I will definitely use it.

Now this is how you make a quality video!

I am amazed at the little things I can learn on KZfaq that are so useful.

Well done Terry! That is a great method. On a side note, your voice sounds exactly like Kiefer Sutherland AKA: Jack Bauer. Thanks for sharing Terry.

Nice, very easy to follow video guide ( especially the paint marker for the side to use AWAY from the bow ) A good tip indeed.

Excellent instruction, I now have confidence to attempt this method.

Thank you! That was very helpful. My vanes broke yesterday and I decided to cut it off. This is my new fletching :)

They're just regular dowels with wood stain applied to them.

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Everything is very easy and readily available. I will use this for my cosplay project.

Always wondered how to fletch an arrow in a cheap way, Thank you for your wisdom :3

Awesome idea, and great video! Thanks very much.

That was a cool video .... I can't wait to try it ... thx for making it ,

Very nice job, you make it look truly professional!

I love your fletching rig!

I enjoyed how you make your vids, no bull shit and great workmanship. I subscribed.

thanks mr. the way you have done it's the best way i have seen with duct tape , it looks good and the shooting looks perfect. thanks again , i will try it.

great job on the arrows / fletching Terry..............definitely going to " borrow " this idea, LOL.

It looks so professional. thank you for your video.

Very nice tutorial. Well done!

Yes, that is what I have started doing lately. You can find duct tape in so many colors and patterns. I like to use a solid color for the cock vane and a pattern for the other two...just for fun.

These are the best homemade arrows I've seen!

Excellent video. And compliments on your tidy shop.

Thanks Terry Ross your method works great.

I like this one more than Nick's for duct tape arrows (no disrespect, he sets the bar!!!). My girl scout troop has been making their own youth bows, arrows, and quivers and this will help. Super job!

great information and step by step video !!

Awesome video and you can personalize your own arrows which is kind of cool and you can use different colored duct tape which will be easier to find in the field

thank you, awesome work and ideas.

Very informative and an excellent way of fletching..thanks for sharing

Sir you are a perfect trainer... Thanks a lot

very nice. i really like the tiny jig you made. smart.

That's more like it! Yur video gave me that can do spirit without any rush..i truly appreciate that!

Very creative. Nicely prepared video as well.

damn involved and great finished product! thanks for the methodologies!

excellent demonstration!

Thanks for this video. Best one on KZfaq. 👍

I did mine with just two with the fletchings diagnol to the knock, and it works just as good :) saves me the the time and duct tape to make that extra fletching haha

I really like this video and this design. I might have to implement something similar for the duct tape fletching I do for my atlatl darts.

Thank you for your very kind words.

Very well made video and great idea, I'll have to try this out.

Awesome, and very creative ... I will have to try it!

Wow it's an easier way of fetching than the backyard bower. Great video hope to see more

Hola! Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos! Me gustó el final del video. Le mando un abrazo desde Argentina. Osvaldo

Nice video very informative. I'll have to start backyard bowyering if I'm going to sustain my practice without breaking the bank(and it will be a lot more satisfying as well I'm sure.)Thanks.

Thank you sir, that's some beautiful fletching

Hi Sir ! Well done ! I did really enjoy your vid !

very nice & informative. thank you for the gr8 vide!

That was seriously cool!

Awesome! I will try this tonight. Thanks.

Glad I watched this. Thanks, very nice job.

I think that is really cool . I'm not going to be doing it, but I am really glad you are.

great idea Mr. ross nicly done

Hello, thank you for the video. It was done very professionally. I was wondering, the shaft you use for your arrows, are they dowels you can get from the hardware store or a special arrow shaft? Thank you.

Those look great. I'm going to have to start making my own arrows.

thanks for vid. its really easy, chipper and good way to make arrow.

This was very helpful, thank you.

That is exactly what I have been doing lately. Sometimes I dip them in wood glue after sharpening them, just to make them a little harder.

beautiful arrows can't wait to make my own

really cool arrow's! i make some arrows and they shoot really good!

Thanks mine turned out very well :) How do you make your arrow heads??

Thank you. Excellent lesson!

Very useful, thank you so much!

Simple and functional! Very good!

Very good. You convienced me. Im going to try this tomorrow

Great videos, Terry! Very creative. Found you through the Backyard Bowyer channel. Just getting into archery myself, but all these videos on PVC bows are making me want to put on my creative hat and make some bows too! Keep the videos coming. Subbed!

Brilliant, thnx for sharing Terry!

They're really good. Nice work I'm going to start using these fletching a

these look so nice.
