Re: Arrows
Imagine sniffing all that glue. Looks like they only employed right handed people in there.
Re: Arrows
Perhaps the ladies were ambidextrous and had left and right hand clamps.

Re: Arrows
Daryl, I was meaning all the arrows are facing to the left so the women would use their right hand to place the clamps on the jigs. As a left hander I would have the arrows facing to the right.

Re: Arrows
When fletching my arrows right wing setup the shaft points to the right. I hold the clamp in the left hand and apply the glue with the right hand. Having the jig pointing to the right makes it easy to place the clamp in position.Daryl, I was meaning all the arrows are facing to the left so the women would use their right hand to place the clamps on the jigs.
