How to Make a Simple Dowel Arrow with Duct Tape Fletching Part 1-3

[Prepper1]

No, not yet. All I knoew about fletching is how your supposed to do it and the fact that the feathers have to come off the same wing.
My brother is/was a bowyer and I watched him do various archery related things so I have at least an idea of where to start.
Sort of an apprenticeship if you like.

It has to be a special dowel though, not just any will do, it has to be bendable and straight grained.
Arrow making is a hobby in itself and a definite money maker, if you could make a good selection of arrows with the archers colours etc...
Mind a lot of the time like with home made bread, its not that much cheaper than shop bought but you know your getting quality because you've done it yourself.
