hutchies Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: First attempt at fletching and wrapping The first few times it is fun.............after that is becomes work unless you got some new wraps of vains you want to try out.

LifeNRA Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: First attempt at fletching and wrapping Nice job! What is the fletch, offset? I am still trying to figure out how far I want to go on mine. I can go three degrees max I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWiggely Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: First attempt at fletching and wrapping It was pretty easy, the toughest part is stripping the old fletching off. I found a little heat works great. LifeNRA, the offset is 1 degree. Wigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: First attempt at fletching and wrapping Looking good wigs. Is that off-set or helical fletchings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWiggely Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: First attempt at fletching and wrapping thats off set buckee they are straight fletched offset 1 degree. It gives it a very slight helix. I have helixed clamps also, but they were too much. No I don't think I will have to scrape glue again. Other than the few I have left to do, I believe I will be buying bare shafts from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
