RE: Vanes
Please don't take this as criticism but if your vanes are getting torn off just by walking into your stand, something is significantly wrong in how your applying the vanes. I started to refletch my vanes about 4 years ago. Most important things are, pressure for 15-20 seconds after you first apply the vane to your arrow. And as The Outdoorsman said, reglue the front and back ends of your vanes. Are you applying them straight or off-set? If you are applying them off-set, parts of the vanes may not be getting good contact with your arrow due to some sort of problem with your arrow fletching equipment. Believe me, I have been in your shoes because I just started to refletch my vanes without really knowing how to do anything. I may be in the minority but I have had massive problems using Fletchtite. I just use Super Glue and have applied them using a slight off-set to my vanes for the last couple of years and have had very little problems with vanes tearing off. I hope this helps.
