**Fletching**
Fletching is a skill which allows the player to create various types of ranged weapons and their ammunition. The products of this skill are primarily used in the combat skill, [[skills:ranged|Ranged]].
Weapons:
* Shortbows
* Longbows
* Crossbows
* Ballistae
Ammunition:
* Arrows
* Bolts
* Darts
* Javelins
Fletching can be an extremely fast skill to train. Players can fletch entire stacks of items in 1 click using the "make all" feature. As a result, fletching is often trained alongside [[skills:magic|Magic]] through the creation and enchantment of bolts. Players are able to max out both skills in a few clicks once all the supplies have been obtained.
**Training Methods**
To fletch a Bow, simply use a knife on the respective log type. To create a usable bow, use a bow string on the unstrung version. Bow string can be made by using flax on a spinning wheel. For fast training, it is recommended that you do not string bows.
