I have no experience with it, but it is an excellent idea. Seems like it would work well. The 2 draw backs I can see is they are fairly heavy, and if you mess one vane up, you have to replace all 3.

I have seen it demonstrated at the local Cabelas but know of nobody that uses it...yet. If fletching an arrow were really hard then I could see the need for it. Maybe if you were in a remote location without fletching tools....

i would like to see arrow shafts that have 3 small grooves or tracks on them that you slide the fletching in and the nock locks the fletch in. no fuss no glue. for me its a pain fletching arrows with all the prep work and dry time. not my favorite thing to do.

I tried them and they work great for either field points or I would guess mechanical broadheads but they stunk for my stingers. The fletching is straight and it dried too fast for me to put a twist to it (like I was told I could do). With the straight fletching it didn't stabilize the arrows for the stinger broadheads.
