I use the powder boning sells , I think its called fletchdry . It works realy well , put it in a ziplock and put the fletch end of the shaft in and gently work it in . I use a quickie quiver and put a ziplock over the feathers when it looks like rain and I feel like hunting , which is rare , when its raining I dont like to be up in the tree hunting , if its a day long rain whats the use .
