its middle than at either end. Each wing on an 
arrow should be of precisely the same size, tex¬ 
ture, weight and strength. A heavy vane and 
two light ones will have the same effect upon 
the flight of an arrow as would one large and 
two small ones. Feathers become seasoned and 
exceedingly tough and difficult to work, and it a 
certain stage of the preparation must be ren¬ 
dered tractable by the application of moisture in 
some form referred to later. 
All tools used in preparing the feather must be 
sharp, and by this I do not mean approximately 
sharp. The knife that would not comfortably 
shave the user is not sharp enough for this pur¬ 
pose, and the tools must be given constant atten¬ 
tion that they may not become dull. The feath¬ 
ers for a target arrow should be cut, and not 
stripped, from the bone. Using stripped feath¬ 
ers is but a makeshift and indicates inattention 
to the details so essential to final success. 
After the feather is selected it should be ripped 
lengthwise through the grove in the nether side 
of the bone. If the vanes are to be of the ordi¬ 
nary balloon shape they should be 2 3-16 inches 
long and 15-32 of an inch high at the highest 
point. After the feather has been ripped, the 
wings may be cut from the broad side by a die 
made of sheet steel, the feather being placed on 
a maple block and the die struck with a light 
hammer, care being taken to not injure the bone. 
Three wings may be secured from one feather, 
and after being stamped out there will be a space 
between each two wings, as they adhere to the 
bone, of about half an inch. 
The die mentioned may be made from an old 
hand-saw blade or a cabinet maker’s scraper, 
which can be bent into shape without the appli¬ 
cation of heat. It is then sharpened on the em¬ 
ery wheel to a chisel edge. The vanes as stamped 
are then separated by cutting the bone so as to 
leave one-eighth of an inch extending beyond 
each end of the wing.
