RW Shield Barred – Die-cut fletching made from real turkey feathers
The RW Shield Barred fletching combines the proven Shield shape with the classic barred feather pattern. This characteristic striped structure is created by the natural design of the turkey feather and gives every arrow an especially traditional look.
Made from real turkey feathers and die-cut by hand at Bodnik Archery, these are precisely shaped fletchings with consistent quality – ideal for traditional arrow building.
Natural feathers for reliable arrow stabilization
Natural feathers have clear advantages in traditional archery. They stabilize the arrow quickly and flex when they touch the bow shelf during the shot.
The RW Shield Barred fletchings offer:
- reliable arrow stabilization
- stable flight behavior
- forgiving during the shot
- proven performance in training and on the 3D course
Hand-cut at Bodnik Archery
All feathers are die-cut by hand at Bodnik Archery.
This ensures:
- uniform feather shapes
- clean-cut edges
- consistently high quality for arrow building
This allows the feathers to be glued cleanly and processed reliably.
Classic Shield shape
The Shield shape is one of the most popular fletching profiles in traditional archery. Its slightly higher contour stabilizes the arrow particularly effectively.
It is excellently suited for:
- traditional bows
- 3D courses
- training
- tournaments
Four lengths for different arrow setups
The RW Shield Barred fletchings are available in the following sizes:
-
2 1/4 inches – ideal for short arrows or light setups
-
3 inches – popular for modern arrow configurations
-
4 inches – classic length for many traditional arrows
-
5 inches – maximum stabilization for heavy points or traditional setups
This allows arrows to be optimally matched to the bow, point weight, and area of use.
15 color variants
The RW Shield Barred fletchings are available in 15 different color variants.
The characteristic barred structure provides an especially natural and classic look.
As these are natural feathers, each feather may have slight differences in structure and pattern – which is exactly what gives them their individual character.
