RE: Shaft selection for a recurve

fletch all the time and never have had a problem using a box cutter/ utility knife. they do make special tools to remove the fletching, but I find they usually don't work as good.

RE: Shaft selection for a recurve

Yeah, I checked on that. I normally don't like any shafting that gets smaller than a 20/64ths inch in diameter! Just a 'hang up' of my own. Reminds me too much of 'pencils' or modern gear using small shafts!
