yah i didt wanna spend that much, but i did upgrade from ics bow hunters, to the hunters. and by fletching them myself i saved a few bucks and got to keep the same colors that i had last year.

That's the benefits of fletching your own arrows.

yes it is! buying the fletching jig was well worth the money, and now i save money every time i buy arrows cause they are cheaper, and they shoot better, and i can fix them myself when ever i mess one up!

Looks good.  Something to consider when you need to start fixing and repairing them is that blood is basically impossible to read on a black shaft.  You might think about using a wrap under the vanes to get it to show up.  What the arrow tells you is an important part of the recovery.
