How much to re-fletch arrows?

[bullfisher]

I have several arrows that need the vanes stripped off and replaced.  How much should I expect to pay for this service at an archery shop?

If your in auburn, I suggest going to evergreen archery, get them refletched, watch them do it and take home a jig

Thanks for the suggestions.  As rarely as I have the need to get vanes redone (this will be my first time ever, actually) I think I'll pass on doing them myself and take them to the local shop.  Rock Creek Archery is close and I was happy with the bow tuning they did last year so I think I'll have them redo my vanes.  I only have about 1/2 dozen that need to be redone.

I used the slip on Blazer Vanes last year just submerge in hot water works great, I didn't notice any difference in weight, and didn't have to wait for a shop to get er done.

I've always thought those looked interesting.  Have you tested them long enough to know how they hold up long term?  I wonder if they loosen over time and slip on the arrow shaft?

I got my moneys worth out of the ones I built, it was to late to go purchase another dozen arrows right before the archery elk opener, filled my tag with one that I put the shrink to fit vanes on, haven't had any issues with the arrows that I built 3 years ago, in a pinch they did the job.

Thanks, I'm going to pick some of those up and give them a try.
