#4. Depending on how many arrows they have to fletch before yours a week turnaround isn't all that bad. Remember that archery season is fast approaching and to be honest you should have had your arrows ready long ago.
#5. We charge $2.50 per arrow to scrape and fletch arrows but we cut that in half if you purchase the new shafts from us. $3.00 seems a little on the high side of average.
#6. If you are buying the arrows from them then cutting and gluing in the inserts should come with the cost of the arrows.
What this would have cost you from us.....
Shafts - $139
Vanes - #19.99
Cut and insert - Free
Labor - $15 per dozen with new shaft discount
Total - $174 + tax ($14.50 per arrow)
I seem to be agreeing bith bigbulls alot these days. There is no busier time that right now for fletching arrows for guys just like you. Played with themselves all year, but now its crunch time and you don't have a thing done, and its the shop's fault they are busy and can't get your arrows done in 2 seconds. I've fletched 1000's of arrows at the shop I go to in the last couple years, and this time of year, there will literally be 100 dozen arrows to fletch at any given time, so a week turnaround is not unreasonable.
