Sponsor me with super thanks so I can make better videos 🥰 The origin of the wind feather arrow, according to the literature, was invented due to the extreme lack of feathers due to the long-term war. For the specific shape of the wind feather, I think there are many ways to try, what do you think?
In my country they are using gum tape for fletching as govt has restricted the use of feather to protect a species of bird which is killed for feather gum tape version works super fine as minimum range in my cotis 145 meters that’s y fletching is must n we use narrow part of feather contrary to other countries as arrows need to travel a long distance so to lessen the drag they developed this system bt great work
To test whether the arrows are spinning, you can paint a line in a bright color along one side of the shaft. Then if you take video from the side and slow it down, you look to see if the bright line disappears and reappears as it twists.
@@elemkrizzb I am sorry,I only speak english and french. The more I look at you shooting the more I think you are just a good archer that makes pretty arrows. I will make a few over the Winter and see for myself.
By far, the most interesting arrow build video I've ever seen. I learned so many great lessons from this video. I need to get more tools and equipment and make my own arrows.
I think the shooting range is too near to tell if the arrow is being stabilized. Also, I have heard that featherless arrows can be made by tuning the weight balance of the arrow. I think it will be good to compare against featherless arrows that do not have grooves, just to check if the grooves make any difference at all.
Usually the worst of the wooden traditional fletched arrows with minimal feather and even with one missing would stabilize in 10m easy. To get unfletched arrows to stabilize is a complex thing that needs to start by tunning with the bow and using tricks to get it to stabilize. Like a very heavy point, a tapered shaft, a much longer arrow and a spiral nock to imprint spin form the get-go.
What a magnificent job you did, it was perfect and everything handmade, congratulations on your work, demonstrating expertise and skill in the use of tools and for your patience and dedication to the execution of this work. Show. Congratulations
I have never seen wood glue used to attach metal points and wonder how well it holds. Thank you for showing the wind feather design. As far as testing whether the arrows work/rotate or not,color one side of the arrow a bright color and the other side a dark color. You or another observer should be able to see rotation. Also shoot three arrows with grooves then three with no grooves. If the grooved arrows shoot better and are more forgiving you have at least created drag which is very good. I think I would be more comfortable using a round file to create the spiral grooves. You have given me a lot to think about. 🤗😉🤗
I do it when I make mine. They hold up well enough for "soft" targets. They'll work hitting something like wood for a few shots but I avoid it as much as possible. I haven't wrapped thread around mine like he does, I may have to try that.
What a great video . Excellent craftsmanship making these arrows and superb choice of music, it made for a very relaxing and enjoyable video. Thank you.
Nice work. And now the critique: Do not cut the shafts with a circular saw, split the wood with a knife or wedge as this will follows the fibers much better. Horn inserts in nocks are for heavy bows, you did drill a hole in the shaft further down so you cannot use a heavy bow regardless of nock strenght, but it is pretty. Aerodynamically those two straight grooves will work in only one rotation direction, the spiral might be better, but both veered heavily to the right in your last shots, so sadly both seem to not be enough to stabilize an arrow in the first 10m. If you shoot the arrow without a metal point, so unweighted at the front, you might find it is completely unstable, which is not usually the case with the tiniest of feather fletching on an arrow without a point. But still it is a great experiment and complex workmanship so congrats.
Judging by your arrow flight footage, it's pretty much identical to having no stabilization and having stiff arrow shafts for your bow. I bare shaft test to check arrow spine from time to time when making arrows.if it does correct then it might be over larger distances. I don't see it doing much but it's probably does something over 50 yards. That said arrows that are spined properly can be shot without much stabilization at all. I commonly build and shoot two fletched arrows rather than three or four. They barely correct at all besides adding spin and shots can still be on target enough for bird hunting. They actually fly much farther. If not built right though they can really do strange things. Bare shafts can too if spined improperly. A good gust of wind or a wobble can cause bare shafts and even improperly made two fletched to make sudden turns mid flight up to 60 degrees. It can be scary. Some two fletched will even take a curved, erratic path after that.
Thank you for your suggestion. I don't have enough experience. I can't understand the archery skills and details you mentioned. I hope I can understand your words in the future ^^
@@woodenren I'm mildly surprised. I've been building my own wooden arrows for a while now and you got those pretty close to matched to that bow. I'm sorry I would give you reference links to what I'm talking about but I don't even think we can post links in the comments anymore. Two fletched arrows are a native American thing. Other parts of the world seemed to use it as well. It comes from fletching the arrow with two parabolic feathers rather than three. They have to be exactly opposite each other to work and they provide minimal stability and drag on the arrow. A lot of traditional hunters in the states use them. I think the Mongolians may have too but don't quote me on that. Might be a fun research and build project for you. Not a lot of videos on RUclips out about them. The most important part is they have to have only a slight tilt in how they set on the arrow because they only exist to make the shaft spin much like the wind arrows you demonstrated. They were also used to save feathers but we're often even made when feathers were abundant because they were better suited to shooting rapidly as the feathers we're often fletched perpendicular to the nocks and thus just laying them across your forearm and running the bowstring across the forearm would cause the nocks to seat on the bowstring. They were paired with flared nocks take this happen and a skilled native American archer could shoot upwards of ten arrows before the first had completed it's flight to the target. They also tended to go further than classic three fletched arrows cause of less drag. This all made them good arrows for war.
This was really nice to see. I think that if you want to test this more thoroughly, I would make 2 more arrows (one with feathers and one without a groove) to act as tests. The notch you added to the end could serve to visualize the spinning, if you had a better slow-mo camera, but aside from that, I'd suggest staining half your arrow length-wise.
You should try making twists in the knocks themselves. That way they impart a spin as the leave the bowstring. This would also provide a small rearward tug on the arrow as it's released maybe and help make it fly straight with no veins
I know from the african archery culture that there have been tribes shooting featherless arrows out of river cane by a certain set of the center of gravity and by a certain taper ... Great clip, thank you - I also was reflecting a lot to build and test featherless arrows : there must be a way ...
Try the turning arrow test, knock the arrow at an angle before shooting straight, say 2-3 centimetres above where you normally knock it then turn the bow side ways. Usually the feathers correct the velocity of the arrow to align with where it’s pointing causing a misaligned arrow to turn. See if this happens for yours, if yes by how much. Use a few regular arrow as control. This test can be dangerous. I have never done this before and have only seen Lars Anderson do it, although on paper it aerodynamically make sense.
Interesting arrows. I think they are to stiff for your bow. On target, arrow nock go to the right side, that mean, stiff arrow. Try to reduce diameter of arrows. Also, reduce, spread coils, grooves. They must have aerodynamic interaction with air. Reduce them 3 time more, and compere with old ones.
dont know about the spinning at the moment but the shots in the end are showing that the arrows are not stabilized. and thats whats counting, with or without spinning
I just stumbled upon this video. I'm looking to start practicing archery. I have never seen nor heard of air feathered arrows. But I can see how this would make sense and work as I'm into shooting firearms (sports, fighting, survival). This just amazed me. I'm definitely going to look into this some more and give it try. Excellent video. Thank you, my friend.
I know this doesn't really help you judge if they are spinning , but tweaking the length and the spine (stiffness) of the arrow can also affect the performance, those ones are coming off kind of sideways to begin with so even if they are spinning it doesn't do you much good as they are in this build. Looking at the ones in this video they are coming off the bow tailing to the right, so I'd say the arrows are not stiff enough.
Te recomiendo alivianar la flecha para disminuir la inercia y facilitar el movimiento. Tanto como puedas sin que flexione por la potencia del arco. Calcula la velocidad y las vueltas que dara en ese recorrido. Luego imagina una rosca en el aire. Son muchas menos vueltas. Seguramente menos de un giro en el largo de la flecha. Tal vez un leve arrastre en el nock o culatin ayude tambien a que no se incline. Felicitaciones por el trabajo. Muchas gracias por compartirlo.
I hate to be the one saying it, but you are just releasing very nicely thats why the arrow is going straight. What plays the biggest role in stabilizing the arrow is the HEIGHT of the feather and what you have here is literally negative height. I would assume its actually doing close to nothing to stabilize the arrow. The video is still great in showing how nicely you make the arrows. Great craftsmanship!
@@woodenren It's possible an arrow with a thin point tapering wider to the knock will give height to offer some stability! Having the carved wind less tight together and over the whole arrow could be an interesting test. The idea of this arrow is very interesting. The craftsmanship certainly is great and this video is very enjoyable to watch.
Стрелу можно покрасить контрастными полосками и тогда будет видно вращение. Но это вращение, в любом случае, не может быть достаточно быстрым для хорошей стабилизации стрелы.
As i was a olympic recurve archer, i used one blank arrow and shot this one on a distance of 70 Meters into the Group of the other arrows with feathers. That is a usual test for finding the right arrow
If you want to test arrow spin: walk back tune. It’s a diagnostic technique. Shoot arrow at .5 metres or 2’. Walk back to 2m, shoot. Walk back to 5m, shoot. All back to 10m, shoot. Examine arrow in target, study the spin. I found out my arrows spin left (right handed bow, Win & Win Olympic recurve bow)
In India, in the recent few hundred years atleast, arrows were made without fletching. They were said to fly farther and faster. I think the key to stability is a heavy arrowhead. You can search 'Bikaneer Arrows' for examples. Sikh warriors too used arrows without fletching.
Oi compatriotas? Sobre sua oergunta da pandemia! Aqui no Brasil está tranquilo! Graças a Deus. Banimoss a tal mascara; algumas pessoas ainda usam; te assisto pra aprender!😅
You can probably get away with not using feathers (fletching) on arrows at all, usually. There are bows and arrows that don't use them and javelins and atlatls don't have them either. The problem with not having fletching is seen in the way the arrow loses alignment and starts going sideways occasionally. At longer distances this will be more pronounced. The job of the feathers is to provide drag. By having something there in the rear resisting the flight forward, the arrow stays aligned. I don't believe grooves will have much aerodynamic effect, though I am impressed with the craftmanship. That's some meticulous detail there. If you were to glue veins / fletching / feathers along those spiral grooves then you should be able to get it to spin if the distance is long enough. The distance of shooting here is quite short and you might not be able to capture spinning motion. The feathers don't have to be straight like missile fins. It can just be a wad of paper hanging off the end, really. Whatever causes a little symmetrical drag to keep the arrow straight. Simpler IS better, but you need some air resistance, ie, something lightweight sticking out from the profile of the arrow shaft in the back, rather than a groove that the air will mostly pass right over.
To test you need comparisons, one with an arrow that has real feathers and one that has nothing. Then you have all 4 possibilities. Next you need to make bright color markings on the arrow, as suggested below, that will allow you to see the movement around its axis. Finally you need a high speed camera to capture things. Succes!
Wow! Thats cool! Im going to make a set. I tune my arrows to the bow I'm using. Why not "bare shaft" tune the arrow 1st, THEN cut the "wind fletching"? The arrow would already want to fly straight; the wind fletching makes up for small inconsistencies in your draw, release, fallowthrough, etc.
Very interesting video, I noticed you had a chicken in one part, and wondered if chicken feathers would be suitable for your arrows? I liked the tools you made and used to help build the arrows, very inventive. I’ll be looking at making some of these myself. Thanks again for the video.
Get some narrow ribbon, not plastic, and put it on a stationary reel, on a sealed bearing if possible to reduce drag, attack one end of ribbon to end of arrow and shoot. If the ribbon is horizontal from spool to arrow, when you shoot it ribbon will twist. Then you can measure the distance, count the twists in the ribbon, and try again at another distance. This info can be used to find the average amount of turns for various distances.
La suelta de la cuerda influye mucho. Puede probar de hacer menos espirales y más largas, hacerlas más estiradas, más aerodinámico y de menor a mayor profundidad. Buen documento con muchas ganas y mucha ilusión ❤️❤️❤️👍
Maybe try thumbdrawwith khatra to see if the non helix one stabilizes. The helix one have too much of a spin , try with grooves but that just slightly unparalleled to the arrow itself, maybe 5° of an angle only
Молодец! Сразу видно, руки растут откуда надо. Но мне кажется, что если для себя , то очень много возни, ведь по идее , стрелы это расходный материал. Одна сломалась, другая улетела.... Жалко будет трудов. А если для души или продажи, то тогда другое дело. Стоит и повозиться.
How to tell if the arrow is spiraling? Use various color sumi inks on different sides. Paint one side blue the other side red or something similar. With a high speed camera if the arrow is spinning it should alternate red and blue in flight. Might be best prior to waxing the wood. The use of water colorings in wood working is common among the west with aniline dyes being common.
I did not know arrows could be stabilized without the use of feathers. Excellent craftmanship and clever, creative use of objects as ad hoc tools. Fascinating to watch.
can you please tell me what the first song is when your shaving the arrows like whats the tittle also really nice bows and arrows really beautiful I always wanted one of those kind of bows they look super comfortable to shoot
Only distance will be the judge to see if the spiral arrow will fly as true as a feathered arrow. See the longest a feathered arrow can fly true and test a spiral arrow for the same distance.
bonjour,pour voir si la fleche fait des rotations il faut faire un trait sur la longueur de la fleche.vous tirer la fleche dans une cible a qelques metres 5m environ, en mettant le trait sur le dessus de la fleche quand la fleche est dans la cible vous verrez si le trait a changer de position sur la fleche

Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.

Good form !
thanks for watching
It appears they may be causing some drag, but not enough to replace fletching.
That's right
To test you need comparisons, one with an arrow that has real feathers and one that has nothing. Then you have all 4 possibilities.
Next you need to make bright color markings on the arrow, as suggested below, that will allow you to see the movement around its axis. Finally you need a high speed camera to capture things. Succes!
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
Muy interesante flecha, pero al parecer tiende a torcerse en la distancia que usas, quizás sean buenas para cortas distancias.
Gracias por la sugerencia
@@woodenren O necesita más peso en la punta para largas distancias.
Very cool!!!
Thank you.
:)
Thank you, nice to meet you.
excellent...really excellent!
Thank you for your compliment, so glad you like it.
Can you show more on the planning jig?
Genial, buen trabajo. ✌
Gracias
Дуже цікаве відео!! Було б цікавіше запустити таку стрілу метрів на 200!!!
Ця відстань занадто важка для мене ^^
Wow! Thats cool! Im going to make a set.
I tune my arrows to the bow I'm using. Why not "bare shaft" tune the arrow 1st, THEN cut the "wind fletching"?
The arrow would already want to fly straight; the wind fletching makes up for small inconsistencies in your draw, release, fallowthrough, etc.
Looking forward ^^
Whow, complimenti per te 👍👍👍👋
Grazie
Perhaps it would be helpful, to add grooves to the front of the arrow shaft, to stabilize, and prevent the tip from wandering.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
Very interesting video, I noticed you had a chicken in one part, and wondered if chicken feathers would be suitable for your arrows?
I liked the tools you made and used to help build the arrows, very inventive. I’ll be looking at making some of these myself.
Thanks again for the video.
Of course chicken feathers can be used, but the effect is not good >o
@@woodenren if using feathers, what feathers would you recommend?
Get some narrow ribbon, not plastic, and put it on a stationary reel, on a sealed bearing if possible to reduce drag, attack one end of ribbon to end of arrow and shoot. If the ribbon is horizontal from spool to arrow, when you shoot it ribbon will twist. Then you can measure the distance, count the twists in the ribbon, and try again at another distance. This info can be used to find the average amount of turns for various distances.
very nice!
thanks for watching
화살깃은 회전이 아닌 비행의 궤도를 잡기 위한 것 입니다. 살짝 내용에 오류가 있어 보입니다.
감사해요
잘보고 갑니다.
^^
La suelta de la cuerda influye mucho.
Puede probar de hacer menos espirales y más largas, hacerlas más estiradas, más aerodinámico y de menor a mayor profundidad.
Buen documento con muchas ganas y mucha ilusión ❤️❤️❤️👍
Gracias por tu sugerencia, puedo probar la versión que dijiste en el futuro ^^
Muy bueno,gracias
Gracias
@@woodenren a ti ,por compartir
To test for rotation, paint strips down the length of the arrow and film it.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
i suggest, go on a field and do a ~45deg long shot, the you should learn more about the stabilizing character of your method.
Thanks for your suggestion ^^
Tie a thread to the tip and see how it rotates around the shaft.
thanks for the suggestion
Maybe try thumbdrawwith khatra to see if the non helix one stabilizes.
The helix one have too much of a spin , try with grooves but that just slightly unparalleled to the arrow itself, maybe 5° of an angle only
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
拳銃などのライフルマークと同等に 螺旋にて貫通力 直進性の向上が目的だと思います
yes
請問有無更多資料？在google只找到宋代出現過，但無題及穩定的原理和文物圖片
我也沒找到圖片，但原理與製作細節是有的
據說在唐代有一位「善射」的和尚，製作了一種不用翎尾的「風羽箭」。風羽的箭杆後端沒有翎羽，在距尾端三寸處鑽一小孔，穿透箭杆，並在箭杆中開鑿一「風渠」直達尾端，風羽射出後，空氣從小孔進入「風渠」，從尾端逸出，從而形成渦流，使箭體保持平衡，正直前行。

@@woodenren 想起俄國5.45彈藥也是用渦流穩定子彈，但會消耗發射的動能
Молодец! Сразу видно, руки растут откуда надо.
Но мне кажется, что если для себя , то очень много возни, ведь по идее , стрелы это расходный материал. Одна сломалась, другая улетела.... Жалко будет трудов.
А если для души или продажи, то тогда другое дело. Стоит и повозиться.
Просто для удовольствия ^^
Молодец.

How to tell if the arrow is spiraling? Use various color sumi inks on different sides. Paint one side blue the other side red or something similar. With a high speed camera if the arrow is spinning it should alternate red and blue in flight.
Might be best prior to waxing the wood. The use of water colorings in wood working is common among the west with aniline dyes being common.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it ^^
Try Khatra Release.less arrow paradox & more speed .Arabian Military technique
Thanks for the suggestion
可以做一個簡易風洞機
測試風羽是否有用
那是什麼?
用紙箱圍起來一面黏成吸管牆對面開洞形成對流
把箭吊在裡面用電風扇吹風進去
觀察箭是否能保持穩定
網路上都有影片你可以找來看

thanks for watching
are you twisting the string when you fire?
I don't understand what you mean ^^
@@woodenren I think what he means, is the string rolling in your fingers when you are drawing the bow.
Yes, does this affect anything?
@@woodenren adds spin to the shaft making it fly more stable
@@puckerbutton7025 That's it, but I don't really understand why twisting the strings increases stability
I did not know arrows could be stabilized without the use of feathers. Excellent craftmanship and clever, creative use of objects as ad hoc tools. Fascinating to watch.
thanks for watching
Adding a tiny amount of fast drying liquid super glue to the string strengthens it and makes it last much longer
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
can you please tell me what the first song is when your shaving the arrows like whats the tittle also really nice bows and arrows really beautiful I always wanted one of those kind of bows they look super comfortable to shoot

台灣原住民有15族 箭都沒有羽毛，唯獨鄒族有，不知道是否跟古代長期戰亂缺乏羽毛有關?
調查文獻是這樣沒錯。以前弓的使用率很高，狩獵、戰爭全都要用到。
Nice, but they need feathers.
He is a featherless ^^
Only distance will be the judge to see if the spiral arrow will fly as true as a feathered arrow. See the longest a feathered arrow can fly true and test a spiral arrow for the same distance.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try.
@@woodenren "I will give it a try." any development
you already tried to film with a high-speed camera to analyze the movements of the arrow ???
I don't have such a good camera, I will try it with an iPhone
Tem no aliexpress?
Não, o frete para o exterior é caro
@@woodenren obrigado pela atenção; seu trabalho é muito interessante !
bonjour,pour voir si la fleche fait des rotations il faut faire un trait sur la longueur de la fleche.vous tirer la fleche dans une cible a qelques metres 5m environ, en mettant le trait sur le dessus de la fleche quand la fleche est dans la cible vous verrez si le trait a changer de position sur la fleche
C'est vraiment un bon moyen je vais essayer, merci
This arrow is appropriate for hunter ducks, because he's deflecting in the water!
Thanks for the suggestion ^^
