Almost done with the arrow so it's time to fletch it and then shoot it! Turkey wing feathers are what we use in the video. They're better than the tail feathers because they have a curve and that helps the arrow spin. Water fowl feathers are also very good because they're more water resistant.
In previous videos in this video we made an arrow shaft from dogwood, chipped (knapped) an arrowhead from chert, and hafted the arrowhead to the shaft.
