Natural Feather/Fledge

Here is the translation of the text:

A natural feather is a real bird feather – usually from a turkey – used for fletching arrows. It helps stabilize the arrow in flight by generating air resistance and compensating for slight flight deviations.

Characteristics:

  • Soft and flexible
  • Compressible (gives way upon contact with the bow)
  • Particularly suitable for shooting “over the hand”
  • Quieter in flight than plastic vanes

Applications:

  • 3D archery
  • Traditional archery
  • Longbow
  • Recurve bow without arrow rest
