Bought some Quick-fletch...

Kinda expensive but looks easier than digging out and setting up my fletching jig and having to buy more glue etc..
Boil water and 3 minutes in and done I guess!?.....Have to see how this works out for me...[?]

    Mine are shootin' great, I use the bohning blazer version though. Pretty tough and durable. I was grouping very well at 30 with mine.

    I haven't tried them yet, but that sounds a lot better than pealing glue or arrow wrap off your shafts when it's time to re-fletch.

    I paid around $15.00 for a 6 pack...So around $2.50 an arrow to fletch...Went on fairly quick and easy. The only thing I dont like about them is the seam is a little thick where it overlaps itself and has an edge on it the whole length...They seem to be holding up after a few rounds but havent got alot of time on them yet.... Flying straight as an arrow[:D][:D][:D]

    Have been shooting FOB's for three years and I like them. You just have to use a fall away rest and lighted nocks are more difficult, but boy do they fly well. I shoot finger with my back up bow so I use four " fletch on those arrows.
