Like John says unless you like making them and I do once in a while. I think your better off buying them from someone like Elite who spines them very close and takes all the headackes out for about 25 bucks more a dozen then you can make them for. I have six fletchers and I do make them but more often lately I just buy them already made and use my equipment for fixing my arrows that need repair. Those become my rabbit arrows. I just bought six Ace 160 grain blunts and put them on six Howard Hill Archery arrows I bought( out of 2 dozen)about four years ago that are equal spine. I'm never short of arrows anymore.
