fletching my own arrows !
 

Ok, I'm sick and tired of other people making mistakes on my equipment, I ordered 6 new arrows at my local shop, had them put on blazers and hidden inserts.
Before I shot the six arrows, I had two vanes just fall off when I pulled them out of the quiver. When I shot about 12 times, I was left with only one arrow with three vanes, and 3 with no vanes at all.
When I came home, I wanted to remove the broadheads which I screwed in atthe target practice and I couldn't, he used sooo much glue in the arrow that my broadheads were glued in...
The shop's closed, but when they re open I'm gonna buy me a fletching rig and glue and do it myself....no more f### up's....

I hear ya buddy. It makes things so much better when you are able to build your own arrows and fletching is a good place to start.

Good choice Frank.

Although the initial costs are high, it is well worth it in the long run.

Both Dave and I started fletching this year. Too many inconsistancies from the Pro Shop Fletched Arrows began to lead us down a path of frustration.

Have fun and post some pictures when you can!

I think the guy who sold me the arrows cut them off in an angle, so now my broadheads aren't screwed in straight as well !!!

cursing out aloud ![:@][:@]

You need a G5 ASD tool. I use mine extensively when I get a new dozen arrows.

Don't be afraid to take that set of arrows back and complain when you buy your new jig.

Hell, I don't think I would give them that much more business if they messed up that bad. Get your arrows replaced and buy that jig somewhere else.
