If she finds out, just explain to her how much money you'll save over the years by not having to pay someone else to do it for you!

Just fletched four of my dad's arrows for him.



Took me about a half hour, but I was surfing here and chatting with friends while doing it.

Someone here asked why....There are the practical reasons that have already been mentioned, but let's face it....Archery is very personalized and it's about how good it looks. ESPECIALLY when it comes to arrows. Wrapping or cresting is the best way to get a look that no one else has.

While we're posting photos.....

Exactly Mobo. This isn't limited to compounds either. Here is my traditional setup with some cedar arrows I fletched and crested myself with paint.

I think this was an awesome post. Thank you. I am looking forward to fletching my own arrows after this season is over, and virtually watching you do it has proven to be a great help. Thanks again for taking the time to put it together.

Well i dont know about making my arrows look cool, Since i dont really care, as long as it flys straight and kills what im shooting at then thats cool enough for me.

And i also dont like the bright wraps. Like were getting all dressed up in our camo to be UNSEEN, then we have these bright a** arrows sticking out of our bow. Like to me that just kinda defets the pourpose (i think).

But i will be using wraps here soon but they will be black or dark green. But its just gonna be for when i refletch my arrows i dont have any glue on my shaft. and thats it.

The only prey you have to worry about with the color is turkey and I am in my Double Bull then. These bright colors make for finding your arrow after the shot and filming much better. I have never had a deer or bear run cause I had bright fletches or wraps. Animals except for birds are color blind. HCH
