I have a crazy problem with my arrows. I just got back some easton axis FMJ's fletched w/ blazer vanes. I went out shooting them today (hopeing I get to sight in my new summit hot dot) but after I shoot a few 3 times the blazer vanes came flying off the arrows some where down range.this is me-->[:@][:'(][>:][>:][&:][&:]?????

I have a newwisker buisket rest and the summit sight on a mathews switchbackXT, what is is thats makeing this happen???
My archery shop dealer just re-paper tuned the bow for me about 3 days beforetoday (the day I droped off the arrows).

What happened???

Probably the whisker biscuit. Its infamous for doing that.

If you use the correct glue and fletch them properly a WB will not rip off vanes.

I havenbt had a problem with my vanes and my whisker biscuit!

I supose one of those drop aways would fix that right?? Ive seen a cobra double diamond that looked okay. there is one at the archery shop I go to that has fancy prongs and mounting holes stacked right on top of each other. I dont remember the brand though.

Please advise here.

Proper glue and drying time won't allow a correctly installed wb to rip off the blazers. There must be more to this story.

Arjuna: what else could cause this?

Just to help rule out things, Im not messeing with the vanes or bending them w/ the fingers. that could mess up the glues hold.

I'd almost have to think by the sound of it that the sahfts weren't cleaned properly prior to fletching. If the shaft is cleaned as it should be, if the gluing surface of the vanes are clean, and the leading edge is spot-glued then there is little chance of the vanes coming off just from shooting them.

Bingo, thats what I think as well.

hasn't happened to me and my WB
