Default Feed back on flex fletch

I have heard the flex fletch vanes are more durable than most. I currently use duravanes and every time I shot at the range I end up sinking about half of my arrows up past the vanes and they become so wavey and deformed that I refletch them every other week. I have heard there isn't a problem with the flex fletch doing this. Any feed back or recomendations of what to use are greatly appreciated.

Hold them over steam or use a hair dryer and they will straighten out.

Yep he is right. Steam and hair dryers work wonders on fletchings.

Yes Flex Fletch is a much more durable vane than Duravanes or AAE or Easton style vanes.I have shotb through targets and by the time I get back to the stake the vanes have straightened back out.I like the Flex Fletch because it is a better all around vane.It is MUCH quieter vane,especially at high speeds and is much more consistant.


The only draw back to Flex Fletch is it takes a little more effort to get them to stick but if you follow the instructions given by them,they will hold great.

TFOX is right! The Flex Fletch vanes are much more durable.

I and several of my friends have used them for hunting and target for years. I have shot the same hunting arrows for 2 years through a whisker bisquit and they look and shoot fine. They cost more up front - but will save you money in the long run.
