Yes, you need a jig to fletch your own arrows....something has to hold that vane there while the glue dries, afterall.

Wraps are VERY simple to do. The do just that, wrap around the arrow, then you glue the vane/feather to them. They add some pizzaze to your arrows.

To get started, you will need the following:

Vanes/feathers of your choice
Fletching jig of your choice
Glue of your choice
Arrow wraps if you desire.

It's pretty simple to do, but does take a little practice to do it right.
