Squirrelhunter91 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 We stopped at Gander Mountain on the way upstate on Friday afternoon and I picked up two 36 packs of 2" Blazer vanes. One pack was neon orange and one pack was white. I planned to do my arrows two orange and one white. Well.. I have been fletching them since Monday morning and so far I have three orange/white ones done with one still in the jig and one arrow with two green and one yellow(Thanks Jason (Gator)!!). The reason for the green/yellow arrow was that when we glued the HIT insert in, the glue dried on us very quickly and we couldn't seat the insert correctly. So field tips and broadheads stick out of the shaft. I color coded it so I don't grab it one day and wonder why one arrow is flying so erratically. Also, I have been putting together my Muzzy 100's and screwing them into the shafts before fletching. I have been lining up the vanes with the blades on the Muzzy's. I also have numbered each ferrule and each arrow with the same number. This way I don't screw in a different broadhead and the blades/vanes don't line up. Does anyone else do this or am I just a nut?

Makes no difference in my arrow flight. I may be wrong, but I think with a properly tuned bow lining up the heads and the vanes will have no significance whatsoever.

Although, I do spin test my BH's to see wether or not they wobble while on the shaft. After I machine the insert down with the G5 ASD.

tedicast Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I don't worry about lining up the fletch, and the blades either. It is extremely important to spin test the arrows that you are installing broadheads on. I use a G5 squaring device on both ends of every shaft I cut. I also use Bohning Powerbond to glue inserts. It takes overnight to dry completely, this gives you pleanty of time to spin test your broadheads, ans be sure they are wobble free. Most times, a slight twist of the insert in the shaft, will get the wobble out of my broadheads. Spend the money on a G5 arrow squaring device ,and a good arrow spinner. You won't be sorry.

Tom2008 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yeah I can vouche for the not worrying about it either. It doesn't seem to matter at all. I guess your just a nut with to much time on your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Good job squirrel........I thought your Dad had gotten you red blazers to fletch your arrows with? That was agood idea to color code the shaft for that one HIT. Good luck to you and let us know how they shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
