Shrink to fit fletching?

[blackhorn]

Anybody use them? Like them or hate them?

They are ok.  Would be great to have in camp if you got in some sort of fletching problem

kinda spendy for full time use compared to regular fletching, but very quick and easy. seem to shoot well - for me anyway.

Had to use them a few times, work pretty well in a pinch. All my arrows went right where I wanted them to go.

Melted some one last July and the only problems I have had is when I nicket one shotting at the same spot like an idiot with broadheads. 
All 24 are still tight, fly straight, and work well for me compared to individually attached fletchings. (I have fletched my own arrows (aluminum then carbon) since getting started in 1995).

That is good intel, Thanks guys.  Was trying to decide wether to take my arrows in and get them fletched or to try the shrink wrap thing.  I might do half and half just to try them out.

I love the NAP quick spin's I got last year.  Wal Mart sells the NAP Twisters now.  They are spendy but quick and easy.

Pro tip:  When you remove the old fletching, DO NOT strip it all the way down to the shaft.  Leave a .5mm or so bit on the shaft.  Just enough to feel it.  When you apply the Quick Fletching, line up the old fletching residue as best as you can to the new fletches on the Quick Fletch.  I had the slipping problem mentioned above when I first started using them but, a pro shop guy gave me this tip and I haven't had any slip since.  The left over residue gives the new shrink tube something to grab onto.

I would use only in an emergency, otherwise they suck!!!

Why shrink wrap or take them in? Buy a jig and fletch some yourself. It's simple to do. Takes less than a couple minutes to complete.

I fletch my own practice arrows.  About two weeks before season I switch.  I like the NAP brand so that I can pick my colors. I like the all white cresting plus my bright veins.  I can see my arrow fly and hit the target as I my eyes are getting older.   I can get the right fit the first time.

I mark the arrow shaft on the same place on every arrow.  Then I do the same for the shrink fit veins.  Then I join the two marks and dip the material on the water and I am consistent with each arrow.  It is interesting how I never use more than two arrows a year during hunting season.   Now I always bring one – two trash arrows with rubber blunts or judo point for small game on the way out or if I see something that needs to be dead.  Those arrows use glued veins.

I plan on doing that in the future, but right now I am just trying to get by.
