Question: 1 / 165

What is the purpose of the fletching on an arrow?

Gives the bow more potential energy

Stabilizes the arrow while in flight

Fletching on an arrow refers to the feathers or vanes attached to the back of the arrow. The purpose of fletching is to stabilize the arrow while in flight. This is because the fletching creates drag, which helps to keep the arrow flying straight and prevents it from spinning or wobbling in the air. A Gives the bow more potential energy is incorrect because the fletching does not affect the amount of energy generated by the bow. C: Reduces friction when firing the arrow is incorrect because the fletching actually increases the amount of friction, but in a controlled way to aid in stabilization. D: Makes the arrow easier to find down range is incorrect because the color of the fletching does not affect the visibility of the arrow down range.
