My rule of thumb: If I get preached to, I don't return.
I agree, brother. Now, the only thing I'll go back in for is a mechanical problem with the bow that I can't remedy. Makes me wish I lived close to Len or Buellhunter instead of here in rural Tennessee.[&o]

I agree with Paul 100 %.


You made the right call and will be glad,in the long run that you decided to do it yourself.


Remember that feathers will really need a helical clamp for the best results and I like right wing.Make sure the feathers and the clamp are both the same helical.


I also use the Platinum glue and it is a great glue,especially with feathers but does require a small amount of drying time.5-10 minutes per.

Hey man, great idea! Let me know how the Gorilla stuff works...I never thought of using it...it does expand a little, I wonder if that may be a problem...or if that will be even better!!

I had about 40 XX75s (old school )with just one sliced vane so I finally decided to get a Bitz andlearn to fletch my own arrows. I got the straight clamp and do aslight off-set and they come out beautifully. It wasn't difficult and I enjoy doing it. It's like a personal touch to your arrows. I now have more arrows than I know what to do with. The Bitz does Blazers nicely also. Oh yea, the AAE Fastset Gel rules.

i started to do it myself after finally figureing out that its going to be much cheaper and more convenient in the long run to do it myself. and i like to do it.
