Carbon arrow problems
#1
I got a dozen Whitetail carbons from gander moutain. I sales rep told me that they were made by Carbon Expess and were very good quality. Out of the 12 I have 3 good ones left.1 has a torn fletching1 has a broken nock,5 have the inserts missing from shooting into starw bales(with field points mind you) and 2 cracked from unknow reasons from shooting. My questionis can I take a fletching off a cracked arrow and put it on another arrow to fix one.The nock and insert damaged arrows I am gonna take to my local shop to have them re-installed.

You can replace one or two fletching at a time.
Honestly, I've never been able to get an old vane off an arrow without completely destroying it - assuming the vane was properly glued down in the first place - so I don't think your idea will work. Vanes are cheap, as long as you stay away from the fancy stuff.

Spike, just get a new vane or two, and redo the good shafts.
Just match the direction and angle of offset or helical to your other arrows.
I prefer to be able to make easy repairs to my fletching, so I do my own, and it is 100% repeatable, so I only have to redo the bad fletches, not the whole arrow.

There is alot you can do to repair these arrows, but make sure in the long run its not gonna cost more to keep repairing them as it would be to just change brands. I never had any trouble with the carbon express 6075.
