I've tried the Shrink Fletch. Once you put it on the shaft it doesnt' slip, very tough even in cold weather. Works good. Great product. Thanks Extreme Archery!

I think some guys are going to like them. But I look at them from a practicle side. At $30.00 per dozen I can buy a lot of glue and feathers and vanes. I can't even believe they have the nerve to charge that much.

It does seem expensive but I don't have a fletching jig and it cost more to have a bow shop fletch arrows. This product makes me able to fletch my arrows at home or in the field and for me this over rides the cost. Like I said, I tried them and the cost isn't an issue since they work so good.

I saw this too. What does everyone pay for a dozen arrows that are done at a shop? For example, my 2315's with wrap, fletching (feathers), tips and nocks run me $60. I have had a hard time even FINDING arrows for that price.

looks like a great idea but way too expensive!!![:@] im sure it will get copied or cheaper versions of it will happen eventually.i use a fletching jig now and its not so bad once you do a couple. i just dont like fussing with the glue. applying it and removing it is the worst part but i only do one batch a year.
