deerhunter10 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I was wondering what everyone's opinion on shrink fletches are. I found some awesome team realtree shrink fletches on cabelas but I have no expierience with them and don't know how reliable they are. They are $20 for a pack of 6.

MUDRUNNER Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 It seems to be hit and miss with peoples results.Ive done about 18 of my aluminum arrows over the past three years with no complaints.I used the extreme's with 4" Duravanes and they held up great through my whisker biscuit on my old bow.I would be afraid I would lose the RT ones.:hammer1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have used the shrink fletches for the past two seasons without any problems at all. I shoot a whisker biscuit and they seem to hold up really well. They are a fast way to refletch arrows yourself. I really like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelund79 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Expensive yes, but they are durable. The only draw back is if you group too tightly, they are more apt to get brushed off by other arrows, and instead of fixing one vane, you have to redo the entire arrow...I learned the hard way to shoot no more than 1 arrow at each dot on the bag.

struttinhoyt Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 They are $20 for a pack of 6. WOW!... no thanks... Fletchin with blazers is somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar an arrow if you have your own jig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12-point Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 dang 20 bucks i could have at least four arrows for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad6639 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I for one dont think 20 bucks is too far out of line for them, I fletch a lot of arrows and I run around a buck an arrow for blazer vanes, and a buck per wrap. So I pay around 12 bucks to fletch a dozen arrows and that dosent figure in the glue or my time(I like doing it so it dont count anyway), so your paying around a buck an arrow for the conveniance and simplisity. Theres a lot more expensive things in archery than that. I have seen them come apart though, but then again I have seen regular wraps do that too.
