Archery - Arrow (Nydam).jpg
</gallery>
The above image from Oppdal, Norway shows the typically tight bindings and the swollen nock typical of arrows from the Viking Age. The number of binds tends to vary between 16 and 64 spirals (Nydam).<br>
The very limited evidence we have for flight shapes implies that flights were usually cut straight and not parabolic although it is impossible to state this with any certainty.<br>
