First time
« on: January 10, 2017, 01:03:00 AM »


First time building my own arrows.

Easton axis trads w 75 grain brass inserts, 3 Rivers white wraps, TruFlight 5" shield feathers.

My only complaint is the Easton factory decal...

They look real good, nice job.

Fletching tape works great,but there is a small learning curve with it, especially with handling it and easy ways to apply it.  When you are done,Just put a tiny little dot of glue on each end of the fletching to hold it down more securely. Doing this ive never had a problem with using tape.

Acetone takes off most logos.  I use tape,but I do not hunting extreme temperatures. Dot of glue on each end of quill. Best feature of tape for me is when you remove them to install new ones,the wraps are not damage.

Look good.  I can't tell, are you taking the Easton wrap off before you put your white wraps on?  

With Easton Axis shafts, I usually fletch them as they come from the factory.  Then, when I wear out the feathers, I remove the wrap along with the feathers and install a new cap wrap.

Nice job Jesse.  The white on white is always a looker with barred fletching..

Beautiful arrows. I agree with Deno on the white on white.
