Fletcher

This thing, if a man take not hede on, he may chaunce have cauſe to ſay ſo of his fletcher, as in dreſſinge of meate is commonlye ſayde of cookes: and that is, that God ſendeth us good feathers, but the devill noughtye fletchers.

In order that distant countries should be furnished with bowyers, fletchers, and arrow head makers, any of those workmen, not being freemen of London, might be sent by the appointment of the king's council, the lord chancellor, lord privy seal, or one of them, to inhabit the city, borough or town within the realm that was destitute of such artificers.

Besides the bowyers and fletchers who made the bows and arrows, others were employed to keep them in repair: the pay of these men was sixpence a-day. Among the Tolls at Carlton Ride is the Account of the Clerk of the Privy Wardrobe, for armour, shot, &c., from 1372 to 1374; where, among many curious entries, occurs one “for the wages of two fletchers, each at vid. a-day, for going in the king's ships, and for the keeping and mending of bows and arrows in the said voyage".

An arrow maker is a fletcher, or, more exactly, one who feathers arrows.

I don't like using a fletcher, the single feather ones are too slow, and the three feather ones inaccurate.

A fletcher that mechanically takes care of gluing feathers to arrow shafts is a great help in either making or repairing arrows.

Fletching jigs are available either as a single fletch unit or as a multi-fletcher, which can fletch up to six arrows at once.

A fletcher is the tool that actually holds the arrow and sets the vane or feather in place while it is being glued.
