Default what you think...due new fletchings?

simple yes or no! I have been beating on these in the yard against rest(I adjusted it) and other arrows getting a little close.Looks rough due to rest was outa whack and I think I fixed that,they still shoot alright but figure a little upkeep might not hurt.I have 3 like this,is it worth the cost and how much should it run?

I wouldnt worry about it if it is still shooting tight groups untill you get ready to hunt next year.

They do still hit right with the untattered one's! I have a fear of shooting with someone(The Rev,Ausie-guy) and they start harping on my garage sale looking arrows!Guess if I whipped up on them they would leave me alone!

Better think again garden knome

Hey get yourself a cheap fletcher and learn to fletch your own arrows.

The Arizona Easy Fletch is good for the money and you can do all 3 vanes at the same time. Get the one for Alum arrows with a 6 degree right helical.

For the price of flething materials, no reason (translate excuse) to shoot crap like that. If you learn to do it yourself, I would pretty much guarantee you'll be doing it alot more often because the color combos are fun to play with. I re-fletch probably 8-10 times per year, mostly just for looks!

Garden knome?[:@] I think I need to call INS on a certain somebody.I'll check of the Easy Fletcher soon as Fedex finds my module they lost and I spend some money with MeanV2 on the Bowtech.I have another dozen to abuse so I'm good for a little while! Sorry Russ didn't mean to say whip on you...I meant thump you like a ripe melon...beat you like a drum...any other cliche's to communicate put the HURT on you and the older guy! hehehe

See now there ya go again your mouth writting checks you are uncapable of cashing.

So does this mean you are publicly challanging me to a shoot out?

Ok same deal as before 1 shot at 110yards the closest to the X wins the 10k purse which is made up of 5k from and 5k from me.

Plus the winner gets bragging rights.

Thankyou MV2 I think I will be able to afford it after I'm 5 grand richer...may even buy some new ones!I'll even buy some for Russ since he will loose some in the grass.Last time it was 100 yards now it's 110...10 yards extra to look for lost arrows.I'm still waiting on Fedex to find my lost module...they have till Tuesday before I call the factory about another one,see Russ your not the only one that loose's stuff.
