buckee Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 After taking my arrows in to our local sportsmans shop and waiting 3 weeks to get them fletched (which they weren't), I decided to borrow their fletcher and do it myself. They turned out pretty sweet don't ya think. It was fun too. I gave them about a 3 degree straight right off-set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes Great looking arrows Steve. After finally putting wraps on my arrows, I see that they will be something I always have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes They look great Steve! So where can I learn how to do this? I now have two dozen Supercabons. Sooner or later I will need to have some new fletchings on. I might as well do it myself. I like the Flo. green or chartrusse(sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvDog Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes Those look great....very bright!!! However, I did notice that one arrow (third from the right) isn't positioned like the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes Thanks guys.

need2hunt Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes Life - Fletching your own is very easy, just need to get yourself a fletching jig - wraps are even simpler. I've got a Bitzenburger fletcher but there are other ones out there that are cheaper - and of course there are several on ebay. As for finding a place that shows you I did a few searches and didn't come up with anything, maybe I'll make a little photo tutorial next time I do mine. Look at it this way if steve and I can do it how hard can it be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes That would be awesome! I am having a hard time seeing my arrows once they release. Something like Steve has there would be cool. One question though. What the point of having camo arrows then? I do! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VermontHunter Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: New Wraps and Vanes I'll tell ya once you have fletched your own shafts you will wonder why you ever paid the price proshops charge you.....You can even play with different fletching combinations and offsets, which is fun and relaxing to do..... A really nice fletching Jig to start off with is the Jo-Jan Mono Fletcher and it's price fairley cheap ( around $37.00 new ) or you could pick up a used one on ebay or AT..... Wrapping and Fletching shafts is easier than you may think.....Heres some that I have done... Hope you all give fletching your own shafts a whirl you will find it fun and most definately cheaper.... Sorry for stealing your thread Steve..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
