buckeyebuckhntr is who was talking about it. He said a buddy of his uses the shrink fletch. Ask him about it i'm sure he will be happy to tell you about it.

I've tried the Shrink Fletch. Once you put it on the shaft it doesnt' slip, very tough even in cold weather. Works good. Great product. Thanks Extreme Archery!

I think some guys are going to like them. But I look at them from a practicle side. At $30.00 per dozen I can buy a lot of glue and feathers and vanes. I can't even believe they have the nerve to charge that much.

It does seem expensive but I don't have a fletching jig and it cost more to have a bow shop fletch arrows. This product makes me able to fletch my arrows at home or in the field and for me this over rides the cost. Like I said, I tried them and the cost isn't an issue since they work so good.

I saw this too. What does everyone pay for a dozen arrows that are done at a shop? For example, my 2315's with wrap, fletching (feathers), tips and nocks run me $60. I have had a hard time even FINDING arrows for that price.

looks like a great idea but way too expensive!!![:@] im sure it will get copied or cheaper versions of it will happen eventually.i use a fletching jig now and its not so bad once you do a couple. i just dont like fussing with the glue. applying it and removing it is the worst part but i only do one batch a year.
