I started fletching my own arrows this year, I went from alum to carbon (PSE`S). I just took a razor knife and scraped the fletch off and cleaned the shaft off real good with alcohol and wraped with white sticker material from a sign shop about 8inches long, cheaper then buying it from a pro shop which cost about $12.00 compared to $2.00 from a sign business, clean the sticker off and place fletch, I shoot every weekend in the woods and I have never ripped a fletch off yet...
