I have shot about 300-400 arrow aout of mine already and not had a sigle problem or fletching ripping off.

Huntinfool, maybe it is just poor fletching job on your arrows because my fletchings are just as good when i first got my arrows. except for a little black on the edges but whos cares about that! I like it and plan on using it for hunting next year. maybe if i have a problem w/ it i will switch to a drop away but until then i will keep my same setup.
