shrink fletch

was wondering if anyone has used this product and how it worked out.

I met a guy thi sseason that was using them on his practice arrws and liked them. He is planning on putting them on his hunting arrows ahen the fletching was in need to be replaced. I have no opion of them though, and they are a kinda cool idea.

they were on the arrows i got with my bow when bought it. they were not in a consistant spot and the guy i bought my bow from said it was near impossible to get them to be in the same spot every time, they worked fine. that being said i stripped them off and put some quick spins in there place

i have a friend that tried them, i fletch my own arrows and will stick with that. he was having a bit of a problem with them, he asked what to do. i told him do the same thing that i do with all my arrows that have wraps on them glue around the front edge and back edge and that fixed the problem he was having. but i will stick with what i use. don't see to much wrong with them.

I used the NAP version with excellent results.  You just dip them in boiling water for 5 seconds, and they're done.  Very durable so far.  I'd recommend them for targets or hunting.

I tried them on a half dozen arrows I followed the directions and did not do any extra gluing.  At least one fletching on most of them came off after a few months of shooting.  Another down side is that if one fletching gets ruined then the whole thing is toast.  If you use a jig you can replace 1 fletching if needed.  At the price they want for them I would just buy a good jig, fletchings, and glue.  They would work good for emergencies if you HAD to fletch a few arrows in the backcountry or something like that.

have a friend that uses the nap quick spin shrink fletch, he says that they were very easy to put on and that they shoot just as good as when he fletched quick spins by hand.  ive seen him produce consistent 1-2" groups at 20yds
