Fletched my First Arrow
« on: October 14, 2007, 09:15:00 PM »
Fletched my 1st arrow today! Used a Jo Jan mono I bought off the board a while back. Easier than I thought. Don't know why I waited so long to try it!

NO! NO! Make him suffer through the learning of glue/finish compatibility issues!No Fletch Tape for starters! Make him suff-ffer!!

Oh, congrats! And just you wait 'til you turn them red!

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Thanks for the tip about the fletching tape. Got some on order. I was hesitant to try it for fear that it wold not bond as well as Fletch Tite. Still, the Fletch Tite seems to work well with gluing nocks. I've juse received 2 doz. 2315 Game Getter II shafts. Hope the tape gets here in time for me to try them before this weekend.

The tape will work great just use somthing to press the quill down on the shaft after you take it out of the fletcher and one drop of glue front and back of fletch
