personally, i'd rather build my arrows myself, start to finish. especially here, because the local shop can't do jack with arrows. i recommend that you learn, though. and what's the worst that could happen? strip them off and start again?Nice wraps! do they fly ok? i've always been too scared to fletch my own arrows. I figure I'll let the guys that know how to do it do it.
Same here, though the local shops arent that bad around me its still alot more effort to go to them and pay them to stick a few new fletchings on.personally, i'd rather build my arrows myself, start to finish. especially here, because the local shop can't do jack with arrows. i recommend that you learn, though. and what's the worst that could happen? strip them off and start again?
Yeah, another tip for you gobbler crazy. the fletchings on those arrows won't always be even between each fletching because those arrows are so small in diameter, that they might sometimes offset. I have experience with it too. I have fletched arrows for about 2 years now and I also fletch other peoples arrows.Hey thanks for the replies guys! Make sure before you go to your real arrows, you practice on some others though. Helps you figure out exactly how to set the clamp and offset, etc. also, DON'T USE TO MUCH GLUE!! I figured that one out after about 6 arrows:embara: But one good thing was the first shot with these arrows, I arrowed a bird in my range. They shoot just as bit as good or better then when the shop fletched up my last dozen
Same here!!! I love building my own arrows...all I have to do now is get my own saw and I will be completely independent from the shop for fletching and arrow building...personally, i'd rather build my arrows myself, start to finish. especially here, because the local shop can't do jack with arrows. i recommend that you learn, though. and what's the worst that could happen? strip them off and start again?
