Fletching: by Bill Searl
I'm looking to beg, borrow, buy, or steal a copy of Fletching by Bill Searl. This maybe an old book even may have been privately published. I've tried looking in the usual places (Ebay, Amazon) but so far have had no luck. Has anyone seen this book or know where I may get a copy.

Hi Cestria, I think you are looking for Fletchery, Bill wrote it a few years back now and all our longbow shooters in the club have a copy. If you pm me I'll give you Bill's phone number

Is that something that might be available as a PDF file, or in some other electronic form?

I'd think not. I believe that this is a self published book, designed to pass on Bill's years of knowledge in fletchery. Bill is now quite old but still with us, and as I have found how to contact him I'll see if he has any of his books left.

if there are copies around to be bought let me know also as I am wanting to stretch the legs on arrow making from my pedestrian attemps at present.

Bills book "Fletchery" is great. If you can get a copy I do recommend it.
