They look nice. I shoot 4 fletch , the spouse 3 fletch. We use different color fletch for the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) feather so it's easier to nock, just put the right color out. And yes the dot of glue on each end is a must .
Nice to see feathers for a compound bow, I did it that way before going trad. Be nice to see some bow kill pics from you this Fall, good luck. I'll be trying , need to get a feeder out . Haven't seen any sign of hogs since the drought and honestly I have next to no real interest in deer. Just don't

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. Ok had to read that half a dozen times to get what you ment but I think I understand lol !

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. It's a legit company. I looked into them 10-15 years ago out of curiosity. Seems they work as well as fletchings in the tests I've seen but are a no go on whisker biscuits or any other non fall away rest for that matter. The only thing I did like is that they slide on the shaft and will slide off at impact to mark the spot on an animal but that wasn't enough for me to look into them any further. Those look like they might be noisy flying but really don't know plus might slow the arrow down a bit??

Looks good. I use an easton EZ fletch. Very simple and quick.

Great job Wolfie I used pipe cleaner to prep my shafts At one time i raised Turkeys so I tried splitting wing feathers put them in your fletching jig and sand a little to thin and make them flexible never got a feather burner so the suckers whistled but fun to shoot none the less

I used to shoot a lot of feathers. I have a left wing bitz fletching jig. I used a glue called Goat Tuff, best glue I ever used, but that was 20 years ago. It's nice to be able to fix/build your own arrows. I never did get an arrow saw, had a friend who had one and only needed it once every few years so I bummed his.
