LifeNRA Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I heard a lot of people complaining about them slipping off. I never used them. I fletch my own, its super easy to do, plus I enjoy doing them as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Hey if they work for you, great! Just going with other peoples evaluations! But I would shoot the daylights out of them, then decide. There has been a few on this board that had problems. Which is enough for me not to try them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Watched Waddel use them on Road Trips looked easy. But like John said have heard of several talking about having problems with them. Hopefully yours work well!!! Welcome to the forum and thats a nice looking buck in your first post!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm hooked on Bohning vanes. I shoot the 4" and haven't even tried the Blazer vanes yet. That's going to be my next vane, if anything, when and if these wear out I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I've had pretty good success with the Extreme shrink flectings on my aluminums.Been shooting them through my biscuit for 2 years now,and the only had 1 come off,but that was because I didn't install it right.I hope you like them...put a few months of shooting on them and give us a report.

5994_MUZZYMAN Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm very interested to know if they do good. I thought about trying some but i figured they were to good to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Don't waste your money. They are junk. I had a dozen of them ( two packs ) and they all sucked. If it is such a great product, how come the company doesn't back it with their warranty? Look on Extreme Archery's site.. Shrink Fletch is clearly excluded from the warranty.

VermontHunter Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I tried a dozen of those things and had nothing but a headache, with them coming off .... IMHO ,,, Wrap and Fletch your own ,, you'll have a better color selection to choose from, you won't be limited on what brand of fletch to use,, and you get to choose the mounting configuration of your fletch... and beside that it's a great hobbie and fun ... And by golly Joe you are right.... this is right off thier website...

MUDRUNNER Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I don't hardly think they can give a lifetime warranty on fletchings...does anybody offer that?:confused:IMO arrows and components are things that just were out over time and use.Lifetime warranty wouldn't make sense on cunsumable parts like these.I could see this warranty being more related to sights and things along those lines that are made to last a long time.

I don't want to hijack this thread and get off topic here... but we aren't talking about the lifetime of this product.. and NOR would we or anyone expect it to be covered for life, but when you just purchase a product and when you try to use it and it fails,,, I would think that the company would honor their Limited Warranty against DEFECTS policy that they have for every other product ... And when the company explicitly writes this exclusion into their warranty policy like Extreme Products has, to me this is like knowing that the product has a propensity to fail and don't want to get flooded with reimbursements ,,, and say to the consumer too bad.. Example ,, I recently bought some AAE 4" Fletching that wouldn't stick to my GT Shafts, so I contacted AAE by email and let them know of the problem,which they were already aware that existed took care of me by sending me replacements ... ;) To me this is the least we should expect from a reputable manufacture .. I hope you see my point in all of my rambling .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I hear you brother...No doubt a company should stand behind their products and take care of any problems,but in your guys' post you specifically said their not covered under the warranty.I totally agree,if there's a defect or problem it should be taken care of...it's all good.

LifeNRA Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Personally, the best thing you can do is buy yourself a good jig, and take the time to learn how to re-fletch. Its super easy and not hard to do! Besides, you don't have to worry about water temperatures! LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
