Integral guiding feather tail for archery arrows - is attached permanently by heat treatment of shrunk plastics tail

摘要

The integral guiding feather tail is fixed on archery arrow rail tail end. The connection between this tail and arrow shank is made permanent and the arrow flight stability and accuracy is made independent of the equipment used. The tail feather unit is made completely or partly from a shrinking material and it is shrunk by a special process on the arrow shank. The integral feather unit is simply placed as a socket over the shaft end. The integral tail can be made from radiation treated plastics which is caused to shrink by heating in water bath or in hot air. The feather arrangement is readily attached and no clamps are used nor any adhesive agent. No preliminary preparation of shank and tail assembly is necessary.
