Fletching arrows is such a simple process, even a nowbi could do it. Let's see how you compare.
First, completely PARE a stick, using your fletching knife in your right hand.
NOCK the unfinished shaft.
GLUE a small dab onto the shaft. You'll need a bottle of glue in hand, in case you hadn't figured that out.
With feathers in hand, FLETCH the shaft. Try not to make a mess, eh?
Choose an appropriate tip for the bolt or arrow you want, and AFFIX it to the shaft.
Unless you're inept or the insipid spawn of a getok, you should have yourself an arrow or a bolt.
Keep in mind that harder woods are more difficult to work with for the fledgeling fletcher. Tough luck for you.
Lots of love,
