Why Do Fletchings Wrinkle Like This?

Does anyone know? I only have about 20 shots with this quickspin, and they are already wrinkling. Thats just disappointing [:@] they shoot great but dont seem very durable.

Get your wife's/girlfriends/any woman's hair dryer......hell, I don't know, maybe you have one, J/K. Anyway, get a hairdryer and and blow hot air on them and it'll straighten them out.

Are you unknowingly grabbing the arrow by the fletch when you pull them? Your definately getting some contact somewhere. Are the fletch passing through something like the target or whisker rest? You tell us....
