fletching

fletching

Fletching are the three or four feathers near the back of the arrow. The fletching should be tight and smooth to allow a precise flight by the arrow. Damaged fletching could hurt the trajectory of the arrow. Fletchings are also called vanes. Some fletchings are made of plastic.
