RE: Fletching question
I think you need more arrows and a bitzenburger. I have about 18 good practice arrows and then I have a select 6 hunting arrows that are just used for hunting having been fine tuned.
Even though the fletchings may be fraid and may not noticiably effect arrow flight it will make more noise in flight. Not too good. As someone esle said, disgard any dinged arrow.
