Congratulations on your first....To be honest, I' ve never shafted my own arrows...I' ve taken off nocks, I' ve sheared fletch, creased arrows and more but never shafted my own....

I have however shafted others arrows while aiming for them in a 3D tournament....I love it but it kinda po' s the owner of the arrow I shafted...lol.. cause I figured they were shooting their " best" arrow..
