What do you guys do when you ruin your vanes/feathers? Do you pay someone to refletch or do you refletch yourself?

This weekend I was building arrows from scratch. Bare shaft to arrows and bolt. There are lots of tools and they aren't really expensive. Some guys take dead compound arrows, cut them down and use them for xbows. Vanes are like .15 each or less and some guys use crazy glue, all you need is a flething tool $20.00 and up. There is tons of info out there about how to do it. Check it out.

I just stick them in the corner and look at them and only think about fletching, never done it.

If you can get them to me I would be happy to refletch them for free. No not a joke.

Go to my website autotrend.net and mail away to that address. I only have yellow in 5" vanes but I have a few colours in 2" blazers. Everyone else here is invited as well.

Dnk, I thought about trying them will the 2 inch blazer work on a crossbow, will it drag the bottom of slot in rail. I use 4 inch vanes
at 7 degrees for my exomag you could probably use 10 or 12 degreeson the blazer


it would really put a lot of spin on your arrow.
