Holy smokes! My local shop only charges $20 to cut, fletch, and glue in the inserts. Granted, they don't do the *best* job of fletching, but thats a far cry from $150. That sounds like highway robbery. I need to open up a bow shop, if they get away with that kinda pricing! Heck, if you wanna send those puppies to me, I'll do it for $75
Also, FWIW, if you don't wanna use Deep 6 broadheads, you can use outserts or half-out inserts and standard shank broadheads. Outserts are stronger, but they do add some weight to the front of your arrow. That said, I haven't had too many problems with half-outs, in as much as I have used them.
