If a rainfall is to be drenching and steady throughout the day, I do not hunt. However, if a hard rain is short-lived or intermittent showers, I keep my fletch protected by a cover on the quiver and a flip-cover over the fletch of the shaft loaded on my bow.

I hear all these stories about drenched fletched and wonder why. If a person is sitting in a tree stand or ground blind, why is it he or she cannot cover his/her fletch?
