Fletches Fletching

This is to attach the fletching directly onto the arrow shaft using ordinary silicone. Firstly, you need to cover the parts with some type of oil or grease that won't stick to the silicone. 2. Assemble the components on the shaft (three Befiederung units and two Befestigungs_Ring units). You can refer to this video for guidance: https://youtu.be/_H5rYnWqZ7o 3. Apply some silicone to each part. For a better understanding, please watch this video: https://youtu.be/B-nxXbvx6fc 4. Allow it to sit for about 30-60 minutes. 5. Cover it with the Deckel (three units).

After that, carefully open the mold and give the fletching another two to three days to harden. The fletching will be quite soft initially, but with proper development, it can become very durable. I created this method because I bought arrows with extremely hard fletching at a low cost, but shooting them with a traditional bow proved to be challenging. Keep in mind that this fletching may not last forever, but my initial tests showed that it was nearly as durable as the original. The outcome largely depends on how well you harden the silicone.
