ABSTRACT:
A fletching guide for attaching pre-formed flights to arrow shafts. Fletching guides, in number equivalent to the number of flights to be attached to an arrow shaft, are splayed outwardly from the central axis of the tool. Pre-formed flights are placed in the guide and adhesive is applied along the edge of the flight which will contact the arrow shaft. The guides bearing the flights with adhesive applied are then moved to a position so as to embracingly encompass the arrow shaft and hold the flights in position until the adhesive has cured. To accommodate special circumstances, a nock aligning means within the tool is rotatingly displacable so as to selectedly position the arrow flights on the arrow shaft in a desired geometric relationship with the nock at the end of the arrow shaft. A compressive closure cap at the distal ends of the fletching guides assures a uniform compressive force applied along the length of the guides and aligns the guides for true and proper placement of the flights on the arrow shaft.
