Right-Wing Turkey Feather Fletching 3″ / 4″ – JVD

Natural feather fletching remains a classic choice for traditional wooden arrows. JVD Right-Wing Turkey Feather Fletching is designed for building and repairing arrows and is available in two lengths and eleven colour options.

Genuine turkey feather

The fletching is made from genuine turkey feather.

Natural feather is lightweight, flexible and well suited to many traditional arrow setups.

3″ feather fletching

The shorter option measures:

3″ / 76.2 mm

Its smaller surface area provides a more compact fletching configuration.

Actual aerodynamic behaviour still depends on the complete feather profile and arrow setup.

4″ feather fletching

The longer option measures:

4″ / 101.6 mm

Four-inch natural feather provides a larger stabilising surface and is commonly used on traditional wooden arrows.

A larger feather also produces more aerodynamic drag, so 4″ is not automatically the best option for every arrow.

Eleven colours

Available colours are:

Black, Brown, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Pink, Red, Orange, Grey and White.

This allows archers to build matching sets or use a contrasting index feather.

Right-wing orientation

This product uses right-wing turkey feather.

Use feathers with the same wing orientation on a single arrow.

Straight, offset or helical

Right-wing feather can be installed in different ways.

A straight installation produces relatively little rotational input.

Offset and helical installation can increase arrow rotation and stabilisation, while also increasing aerodynamic drag.

Wooden arrows

Natural turkey fletching is particularly suitable for wooden arrow shafts.

The bonding surface should be clean, dry and compatible with the chosen adhesive.

Longbow and traditional archery

Turkey feather fletching is commonly used with wooden arrows for longbows, traditional recurves and instinctive archery.

Correct arrow performance still depends on spine, length, mass, point weight and bow setup.

Horsebow and horseback archery

Natural feather can also be used for correctly matched horsebow and horseback-archery arrows.

Because these arrows may be handled quickly and frequently, inspect the feather base and glued joint regularly.

Feather origin

According to the current product specification, the turkey feather material originates from the USA.

How many feathers are needed?

This product is sold individually.

A standard three-fletch arrow normally requires:

3 feathers

For twelve arrows:

36 feathers

Caring for natural feathers

Protect natural fletching from prolonged compression and excessive heat.

If the feathers become wet, allow them to dry naturally before shooting again.
