Comment on My first attempt at fletching an arrow

That’s looking pretty good, especially if it’s your first go! The feathers look nicely shaped, even, and at the right angles. The one thing I’d say is, make sure you leave enough space at the back of the shaft, you’ve got these very near the end, and by the time you’ve cut the nock (the groove the bowstring sits in) there’s not going to be enough space for your fingers on the bowstring if you have then near the nocking point.
