Default 10 steps for wrapping and fletching your own arrows

Because its really very simple, I figured I would throw together a quick n' easy how-to for you fine folks.

I used an Arizona E-Z Fletch, Lone Peak Arrow Wraps, Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum, and Blazer vanes.

Step 1:

Peel your wrap from its backing.



Step 2 and 3:

Lay the wrap adhesive side up. Line your arrow up with the edge of the wrap.



Step 4:

While pressing down slightly, roll your arrow forward across the wrap. As you roll, make sure that the beginning edge of your wrap is stuck well to your arrow.




Step 5:

Take the cap off of your Arizona E-Z Fletch and use one hand to open the three prongs of the tool.



Step 6:

Place three vanes of your choosing (I prefer Blazers) into the slots provided in the prongs of the tool.



Step 7 and 8:

Run a good bead of fletching glue down the edge of each of your vanes. Place your freshly wrapped arrow into the hole in the bottom of the fletch tool.



Step 9:

Close the prongs around your arrow and slide the cap down the length of it. Apply pressure to the points where the fletching meet the arrow.



Set aside for several minutes to allow the glue to dry.

Step 10:

Remove the cap from the fletching tool and remove your arrow.Set the nock however you plan to shoot (cock vane down, up, etc).



Enjoy your newly wrapped and fletched arrows!



Its a lot easier than some people think. The only problem I have with the Arizona E-Z Fletch is that you can't really get a good deal of helical on the vanes. You can get a smidge, but nothing extreme.

Enjoy folks, hope this helps some of you.
