Is it ok to get fletchings wet? I got a few muddy today, and was wondering if it is ok to clean them.

If you do alot of hunting ,your fletching's are going to get wet anyway's whether your shooting feather's or plastic's. If you've got mud on them ,just let them dry out and the most of the mud will fall off anyway's .

If your shooting Feather's ,there is a water seal that you can use on them ,to help protect them ,just spray them when they're dry and your good to go . Don't worry about getting them wet ,if they fall off then just replace them.

If they are feathers then let them dry and knock ost of the mud off. If you still want them cleaner then you can run them under a faucet and lightly rub the mud off. Then let them dry. Next step is to hold them over the spout of a tea kettle with steam coming out. This should stand those feathers just about back to normal. Practice.

Another trick with feathers is to wash the blood off after its passed thru that big buck you just shot , wash them gently with water , and get out mamas blow dryer , to dry them off , then use hair spray or feather powder to keep them dry as long as posable . Thats what I do , found it works better than te tea ketal .

I just wipe mine off. As long as they were fletched well water shouldn't hurt 'em.
