I am going to start to fletch my own arrows and would like to know your preferences on were to put them on the arrow. also what kind of glue you use on carbon arrows for the blazers.

thanks

The closest you can get them to the nock the better. I use the first marks on my jig....

Any of the cyanoacrylate glues (super glue) will work best. A couple of my favorites are Pine Ridge Fletching Glue and Bohning Quantum XT...

Never heard of the closest to the nock mobo. I fletch mine an inch from the nock just like any other fletch and they perform and fly great for me. I use bohning platinum glue and I always use arrow wraps too to customize the arrows and also to provide a great surface for the fletchings to adhere to. I use a bitzenberger fletcher.

I didn't necessarily mean right next to the nock...but it's better to be closer than farther...try fletching one 4" away and see how it works....[8D]

I agree Mobo
I usually put mine about 1/2" from the end but if you use a release there is no reason a person could not put it at the end of the shaft it would only make the arrow spin faster which is a good thing.

Mine are @ 9/16" from nock. I like to use Bohning Fletchtite Platinum.
