fletching recomendations
 

well i got a dozen of them easton carbonaeros and set aside 3 for practice. i have about 50 shots on each of those 3 and the fletching is getting wavy.i am using a whisker biscuit but like not having to worry about my arrow fallin off the rest so i really dont want to switch....any recomendations on a fletching that will hold up better and not get all wavy on me?

RE: fletching recomendations
 

well first of all your fletchings shouldnt be getting wavy. load an arrow in the wb and nock it, there should be some space between the arrow and the wb,but yours seems to not have any or not have enough. Try trimming the whiskers some,that should really help also if you want try going to a medium sized biscuit or even a large.I know it shounds rediculous for carbons but im shooting carbons thru a large biscuit and works just fine.To answer your question try going to feathers.

RE: fletching recomendations
 

just look at what the fletching on my new arrows already looks like (50 shots per arrow) its the same fletch on each arrow that takes the worst beating....is it me? the position of the fletching when the arrow is nocked?

RE: fletching recomendations
 

Well I have fletched my own arrows for years now and I am sold on the Extreme Shrink Fletch - Quik Spin Vane. They are extreemly easy to use and they are easy to replace on carbon arrows.

RE: fletching recomendations

info plz

RE: fletching recomendations
 

Can't see the pic all that well.

I can see that you are unglued on one,

but wavey is not something you should expect short of the fletchings being stretched somehow, or maybe being subjected to high temps, or possible being stored where the fletching is distorted by laying against something and that should only be a temporary thing until they relax.

What kind of fletching? Glue? How do you store them? And where? Anything else you can think of.

RE: fletching recomendations
 

fletching and glue is what came from easton, and i store them in my basment in my quiver while the bow hangs on the wall so nothing is touching them and they stay cool all the time....they are straight till i shoot them alot....and theey always comin un glued....should ibe usin my own glue? or is factory glue good enough and mybe my WD is causing this? possibly nocking it wrong? i have the blue fletch dirictly up and the 2 orange ones down when it is nocked...

RE: fletching recomendations
 

You want the 2" Blazer vanes. The 1.5" are STRICTLY for target shooting.

RE: fletching recomendations
 

yup what mo said are you sure you got enough for three mo

RE: fletching recomendations
 

shoot the blazers they are the no 1 choice imho for the biscuit foolproof

RE: fletching recomendations
 

My vanes are doing the same thing thru my bisquit. I am thinking of going to a drop away.

RE: fletching recomendations
 

I've been fletching with vanetec and shooting out of WB for several months. They hold up good. Be sure the WB is squared up with the string. Looks like by your pic the unglued fletch, you could be out of square or could be just a bad glue job.

RE: fletching recomendations
 

the more im reading what u guys say the more im thinkin the factory ones are just garbage....they are very soft and cheap lookin...im gonna get the blazers and hopefully problem solved....im assuming ill need to take it to the local proshop 2 get em glued right?

RE: fletching recomendations
 

u got it right deer get your local shop to do it and if they come off get them to do it again and blame them lol

RE: fletching recomendations
 

Been doing my own arrows for years. I have even bought some off eBay and re-fletched them before using. Cheaper then buying on line somewhere else. I think if you do your own, glue them right, put a dab of glue on tip of fletch to prevent peel backs, I think you will find the last much longer. The only problem I have with feathers is though they are forgiving the WB I use shredds them good by time season is over. Then again I have my own turkey feathers cut down and use them so it is reallly cheap to do........ and good to recycle! [8D]

Proper setup + tuning + Blazer vanes = happy camper!;)
