Pick my fletch

#1 Post by Jamesh76 »

Heres the arrows I bought a while back. 500 spine. I will be stripping the vane. Adding a wrap and fletching. What color combo do you think? 3 or 4 fletch? I only got 12 brown so they would be 3 fletch. Anything else I can do 3 or 4 fletch. What do you say?

I only made 1 up last night. Probably do another tonight so I can see how these flyout of a couple bows. I will have 2 fletched and 2 broadshafts. I intend to keep these full length and adjust point weight.

I don't really have a bow I need these tuned for.

I got 4 bows all tuned up. At least I think I do. For some reason I get a little bit of wear on the outside edge of shelf on every bow I have. Bareshafts and fletch hit right there together, Nock a tad high on bareshafts but adjusting nock point I cant get it to go away. All settle in at abou 1/2" -5/8" nock height.

Anyways, I will post a picture tonight after I get the second one done.
