I have some on my practice arrows. Got tired of waiting and paying for my arrows to be re-fletched at the bow shop. They look sharp, easy to put on and are for the most part really durable. I shoot blazers on 95% of my arrows, and don't notice any flight variation between the two. Until I get the supplies to fletch my own arrows I will keep using the quick fletch as needed.

they are pretty good. i have used them for some of my buddies arrows. he insisted that i use them :dunno: when i already have a flethcing jig and have done hundreds of arrows :chuckle: the trick i do with them and all my wraps. is to run a very small bead of glue around the front of the wrap to help it stick on the shaft. that way if you shoot into a target or a animal and it goes to your wrap. it will not pop or slide them off. but other then that little trick they are a pretty good product for guys that don't want to have to go buy a jig. They are a little steep in price but not to bad :twocents:

I keep a pack in my gear box.  Though if I ever needed to fix some arrows on a hunting trip I could do it pretty easy in camp.  I Have not shot any yet

I used them for about a month until I noticed I had about 4 arrows that always flew different, upon closer inspection I noticed the spacing between fletches was alittle off. went back to fletching the old fashioned way yea it takes about an hour to fletch a dozen arrows insteadof 20 min. but I think its worth it.  buy a jig than you wont have to wait for your arrows, if you screwone up you can just fix it

I tried them and actually was impressed.  I've been making my own custom arrows nearly 20 years now and I was skeptical about heat shrink application with temperature extremes and the "step" in surface created by the additional layer of material. 

Having tried them, I think they are a good value.  I'd recommend installing them prior to gluing in inserts or installing your nocks.  It takes a bit of care to ensure you get them placed precisely in the same position on the shaft (front to back) so if you just focus on this part first, then you can glue in your inserts with the alignment you want to achieve.  Same with your nocks.

Hope this helps!
