RE: Arrow fletching.
fletching arrows is pretty simple from what i hear..putting the vanes in the jig and gluing them on the shaft. the choice is yours about straight, offset or helical. i personally like as much of a helical as i can get. better stability and accuracy. straight vanes are pretty much useless. they do nothing but add weight. your arrow will not spin at all.
good vanes for the WB are blazer vanes from what i hear..i know they are tough durable vanes..i pass them through my bag target all the time and they come out fine.
cutting carbons you need a high speed saw. some guys made jigs to use dremel tools and the like..but you need a high speed saw to prevent it from splintering..
