Default new vanes

hey guys, last year was my first year bow hunting and I am trying to learn more about how to do things myself without having to depend on someone else that I have to pay to do them. I was wondering if anyone could instruct me, or point me to some good resources on how to put new vanes on. I just want to make sure its something I can do and that I am doing it right. Thanks.

After you've been onYOUTUBE and typed in Fletching , which is what i did .

First off get yourself a fletching jig , feathers or Vanes and some goats tuff glue or i use Loc-tite instant adhesive for Vanes . You will also need some wipes to clean the shaft before applying glue . Practice on old shafts if you can .
Its amazing what you can learn off the Internet .
Its easy to fletch your own shafts and very rewarding, i jumped in head first and fletched my best arrows first and they fly real sweet .

Don't hesitate to ask more questions
