So I've gained a collection of Arrows with broken fletchings, love feather over vanes so when we stopped at Bass pro yes told the wife imma try fletching. They don't have the feathers I really wanted but these would work I guess....learned I probably should have gotten one of the de Fletcher tools though.



So I just stripped the old vanes off with a box cutter tried scrapping all the old glue off whipped down with acetone .

I bought some glue from bass bro but stuff won't seem to set so read a bit and said the gel lock tight was go so ran to town for some. Works alot better it seems . Also I think I figured something out. Instead of letting. The magnet attach to the fletch holder then putting it on the shaft sem to work better when you put it on straight up and down the. Let it over for the Magnet to catch. That seems right ?

And these are the results from left to right being the first to last. End up adjusting the length from the nock to the fletch to 1" after the first one




How bad they look lol ?

Looks pretty good. The more you do it the better it gets. Never used the bohning but have a bitz which is similar. I like to wrap all my arrows so I can dip them in warm water and peel them off fletching and all when I'm done. I just use shelf liner from Walmart and cut it to size. If you start doing a lot of arrows, look into the Arizona easy fletchers. I get more consistent results with those and am able to replace one fletching if I shoot through a target. I've seen people do it with your style jig but I never got the hang of it with the bitz.

Another trick when using feathers. I like to get the clamp off asap while the glue is not completely setup. I will run my finger with pretty good pressure up the length of the quill. Really seems to make sure adhesion is rock solid.

Good if they fly straight with a fixed broadhead

Dab a dot of glue on the front of the feather and a dot on the back.. Just do it.

Rite on brother, they look great.

Well was gonna wait till tomorrow but just had to try. They seem to fly well enough @18yd. Think I'm a lil rusty lol....guess I should get something to cut these down and get some inserts next huh ?

Was considering doing that, good to know that's a good idea

Sweet I'll be sure to try that!

Looks good, fetching arrows with feathers take some time but it is fun.

Yep. A dab front/ back.
Just something " sexy" about feathers instead of vanes.

They look good Cabela’s carries a shrink wrap slip over the shaft set that works well if a guy only needs to do a few shafts.

pink, that looks gay...

Wanted some like these

Side note seema recurve like these too. Also shooting alot lees to he right then the 400 spine arrows... These are 350's, think I'll see if I can find some 300's or 2 somethings soon

Good job! Just a slight critique since you are using right wing feathers offset them slightly to the right. You have them offset to the left meaning the front of the feather should be to the right of the rear of feather but not too much.

Good feathers by the way.

Seen these things yet I’m not sure how well they will clear the riser on the bow even. Thought it was a joke at first but it looks like a legit ad.

Nice job

That bright pink is a good color if you want to see arrow flight, weather using feathers or vanes.
