I use Comet on all of my shafts. Wipe with a clean paper towel. Fletch with Max Bond and AAE Max hunter vanes. NEVER lost one. I use the same method for target. We shot an arrow thru a target in Redding. I reached thru with a leatherman, grabbed the X-10 by the AAE vane with the pliers and pulled. My wife kept shooting the arrow. No damage to the vane or arrow.
I run a Qtip down the sides of my vanes after fletching. I do a dozen arrows in 20 minutes. You can shoot them immediately and pull the arrows by the vanes. They DO NOT COME OFF ever..Just saying
