RE: fletching own arrows?
I have the little fletch removing tool, saunders I believe, I use a dull knife to strip my fletching. Save your money on that one. I like flex fletch vanes and Saunders NPV to put them on. They are expensive but worth it IMO. If you go this route you need to clean the shaft AND the bottom of the vane before you glue them on. Some of the vanes have an activator on them and don' t need cleaned, the flex fletch won' t stick if you don' t wipe them with alcohol or another solvent first.
