Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow
Iconoclast@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoYeah it’s quite a bit of work. I don’t think I’d have the heart to actually shoot this even if I did have a bow. I put way too much effort into it. They recommend making these in batches of 5 if you’re actually intending to use them too. This is more of a proof of concept.

Agree that you want batches.
If you are interested in using them you may want to look up Dutch arrows, it’s an arrow you can throw with a bit of string.
Only thrown them once before, I would like to try stuff like that again but I don’t really have the space to do it and suspect it would be illegal to use on public land here in the UK.
Atlatls are another fun one, bigger though. More of a javelin.

I’ve been getting into slingling a bit. It’s wildly inaccurate but you can reach impressive distances and it packs quite the punch.
