You will also find fletchings to the rear end of the arrow whose main purpose is to give the arrow drag and thus keep it pointed in the desired direction by not allowing it to pitch or to yaw. The fletchings generally are made from feathers, though modern day ones are made from plastic.

Another part of the arrow is known as the nock whose main use is to keep it correctly in place when drawing on the string. It is usual to have the nock being a cut in the rear end of the arrow, or sometimes a few pieces of wood or plastic may be fixed to the rear of the arrow. The modern nock as well as the Turkish nock can be made such that they curve or pinch the string to ensure that the arrow cannot slip.
