When you guys build arrows, do you place a broadhead in the insert then glue it in, lining it up with the fletching to ensure each arrow is identical, or simply glue it in and not worry about it?
On a side note, local shop will sell me 1/2 dozen ACC 3-60s fletched with feathers for $70. Decent deal? Cheaper than Cabelas, and they're cut to my length and fletched with my choice of feather color to boot (two red barred and one solid grey... purdy
).
With ACCs, I assume the come with the uni-bushing already installed, which means the arrow can only be cut to length on one end. They advertise their spine and tolerances over a 28" length. Is this from the unibushing forward, or the middle of the shaft, like other carbon ICS arrows?
I wanna do this right and one time...

I don't worry about my fletching lining up with my fletching at all. They need to spin true and have an ample amount of helical fletching if they are a fixed blade broadhead. After you glue the inserts in (if you use hotmelt adhesive) you can always go back and re heat them and turn them if necessary. If they are installed in an all carbon shaft be
very careful not to heat the carbon fiber but heat a field point that's screwed into the insert. All carbon shafts also like super glue type adhesive for insert installation. I use hotmelt on my A/C/C's though.
I think $70.00 seems fair for 1/2 doz A/C/C's fletched with feathers...
