ABSTRACT:
An arrow fletcher for use in supporting an arrow shaft having a nock and holding a fletching proximate the shaft is provided which includes a frame, an shaft support and an indexing head including a nock receiver. The shaft support may include a plurality of discretely sized openings therein for receiving any one of a plurality of differently sized arrow shafts in alignment with the nock receiver. Preferably, the shaft support is rotatably mounted to the frame so that differently sized openings may be brought into position by rotating the shaft support. The indexing head includes a plurality of selectively positionable pointers and indicia located on the body of the indexing head for identifying the angular relationship between the nock of the arrow and the fletching placements. The nock receiver is preferably adjustable relative to the indexing head body whereby the angular relationship between the nock and the fletchings may be changed. The frame may be coupled to a base for supporting on a supporting surface, and a mounting bracket may be coupled to the base for permitting the base to be readily removed from the supporting surface but securely held in position when coupled to the mounting bracket.
