I received some arrows (18)from my brother-in-law who I hunt with, for Christmas. They are brand new Carbon Express Exterminatior Hunter 350 in the box. I don't shoot these (I shoot Bemans) but I figured I'd give em a shot (pun intended) as they were a gift.

Well the problem is they all came pre-fletchedstraight! I have always shot an offset fletch.

Should I try and shoot these or have them re-fletched. Seems like a great waste to pull off fletchings from 18 arrows that have never been shot, but I think I might run into issues with the straight fletch.

Any suggestions? does anybody shoot a straight fletch?

you might not run into problems with field points,but with bheads you might.Then again you might run into problems if they are not spined correctly.

Shoot em. If you don't like how they group, refletch them, but I doubt you'll notice much difference, especially with field points.

They are spined correct, they are 350's and according to Carbon Express they are well within the range of weightI am shooting as well as arrow weight and length. I am wondering just how much difference especially with broadheads they will be compared to a slight offset arrowsI use now.

Only one way to tell...Start flingin arrows[8D]

Anybody else have or have shotstraight fletched arrows???

I have been to a Bowtech sponsored shop where they shot only expandables with straight fletch.Make of that what you will.[&:]

I knew my bow was tuned well when I could get my fixed blade broadheads (muzzy 3 blades) to group with my field points using STRAIGHT fletching....
