As far as the wait on the glue, I also use what Shadow mentioned and shoot them as soon as they are cool. I would think that what you have would be the same.

Yes I agree with Tony. When it's good and cool.
The element of surprise can never be replaced by persistence.

Cool guys. So full shaft Douglas fir from sure wood. 70-75# 32 inch with 145 grain field tip. Is pretty close. I need to play with it a little more. But I'm almost wanting to go ahead and fletch the other 3 shafts from the spine kit. Does this sound about right to y'all guys as well. 53# @28 and I'm pulling 29. And my shelf is cut past center

I use floss all the time to tighten nock fit. once I get where I like, I put a little super glue on it. if shooting plastic nocks, you can slightly warm and squeeze them.
