Fletching Your Own Arrows Made Easy

I probably have enough arrows right now to last my bow hunting adventures for the rest of my life. That being said, a few of them from time to time need NEW fletching. I have been aware of the new technology that exists to make it easy to fletch your own at home simply and quickly. I have NOT yet used it, however it looks so simple that probably even I can do it right the first time.

QuickFletch from New Archery products (NAP) makes it easy.  You remove the old fletching and clean the shaft first. Then using the three vanes which come pre-attached to a shrinkable tube, you simply slide the 3 vane shrinkable tube over the shaft to the desired position and then dip the shaft with the fletching on it into boiling water for 10-15 seconds. Remove the shaft from the water, shake off any excess and stand it in the corner to let it cool down. That is all there is to it.

The vanes are NAP's 2 inch twister and Quick Spin vanes featuring NAP's patented kicker and micro-grooved combination. They are reputed to spin up to 300 percent faster than conventional vanes. They also give better accuracy and tighter groups than conventional  fletching. They work well with target points and broad heads. What is NOT to like?

Here are links to the process:
