fletcher
/ˈflɛtʃə
/noun chiefly historical
A person who makes and sells arrows.There are only ten traditional bowyers and twelve traditional fletchers in Korea (one of each is a friend of mine)....
- I wouldn't have bothered you, but all the blacksmiths and arrow fletchers said they were busy, I did ask them first.
- But the archer was the product of years of training, and the bowyers and fletchers who supported him were craftsmen whose skills could not easily be duplicated.
Origin
Middle English: from Old French flechier, from fleche 'arrow'.
