I'm just curious as to know, if you guys think that it's worth waterproofing my feathers? Or is all the water going to get shot in my face, when I shoot the arrows anyways?

Yeah, it's gonna be a bit ofa water explosion when you shoot...But honestly, good luck keeping them dry w/ waterproofing. Plastic bag, bro...Plastic bag. I'm just not gonna worry about it; if they get wet, so be it.

I used to use zinc or zinc oxide. It was in a powder form and a buddy got it for me from work. Its worked great but now I use blazers so I dont bother.

I spray my fletching with Scotchguard at the beginning of the season. Water beads up and rolls off. I have never had them get wet.

One thing often never mentioned is many people believe an arrow with feathers needs refletched after a pass through. Something to think about.

I have several arrows with pass throughs that have not had to been reflethced, I think alot of it has to do with the skill of the one fletching the arrows, as for feathers getting wet, I dont worry about it, they still fly and damned accurate.

When I shot feathers I did it a couple different ways. I bought the commerical powder in a can that you just dunked the arrow in but really prefered the spray dope you use on dry flies to keep them afloat. I also went with nothing. The arrow will still shoot just fine. My favorite was a press close typezip lock bag over the quiver and poke a couple nocks through it to keept eh bag in place.

I use that stuff made for Whisker Biscuits, I think it is called no-snow. I have also used the Atsko silicon stuff. The powder is good, but it makes me sneeze and is messy. [:@]

I have also used aqua net. But you'd better hunt the wind with that stuff on your fletchings.
