     BACKGROUND 
     This plastic fletch unit is designed to create pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and archery arrows. It is seven and one half inches in length with a smooth dowel shaped end to accept a variety of tubular shafts creating pistol crossbow bolts crossbow bolts and archery arrows. Total length of the bolt or arrow will depend on the length of any shaft used. This new fletch unit solves many problems often found with the common bolt an arrows using feathers as fletches. 
     The commonly used pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and arrows use feather for fletches. Those fletches continually wear out or, become dismembered from the shafts forcing the user to continually replace the fletches. This newly created plastic fletch unit will never wear out or become dismembered from the shaft as, it is made of a solid piece of molded plastic with nylon reinforcement. The MORRIS 80 PLASTIC SHARK FLETCH UNIT solves those problems. 
     SUMMARY 
     A plastic fletch unit created by injection mold. Fletch unit composition is durable plastic with nylon reinforcement. Fletch unit is seven and one half inches in length. Fletch unit is designed with two wings to stabilize bolt elevation and a tail to stabilize directional flight. Fletch unit has a smooth dowel shaped tip designed to accept tubular shaped materials such as aluminum, fiberglass or carbon fiber to create pistol crossbow bolts, crossbow bolts and archery arrows of various lengths for target shooting, recreational shooting or hunting. No other fletch unit is designed with two wings and a tail and, uses this variety of materials to create bolts or arrows. This plastic fletch unit with its unique length, unique design and versatility in bolt and arrow usage, is designed to totally change and enhance the way any pistol crossbow bolt, standard crossbow bolt or archery arrow is created and used.
