Band- We charge $3 per arrow for a standard 3 fletch arrow. Any wraps or 4 fletch will be an additional charge. Not sure what other shops are charging so I can't help you there.

I wouldnt do it for 6$ a shaft..........First timers, I help strip and show how to do it, them taking over after a couple shafts.........next time, a couple minutes of refresher, then they do it themselves........no reason guys cant bring you stripped shafts........... :twocents:

Buckfvr- Sorry if you feel $3 an arrow is too much. Not sure where you got $6 and can appreciate that you would show people how to fletch. We would have no problem teaching someone to fletch but that's not what the OP asked. Unfortunately fletching, glue and our time are worth something. In the long run it is cheaper to buy a jig and do repairs yourself but there are folks that just don't want to mess with it.I think $3.00 an arrow is very fair :twocents:

You read it wrong man...........I wouldnt do it for 6 bucks is to indicate you are being very generous @ 3bucks......its a pain in the butt to strip arrows to refletch, imho, and a chore that I accept as my own when needed because I know there are shop guys out there that provide it as a service only because it goes with the territory.
Fletching is just one of those things that for me is a must do yourself chore. I think a jig should be sold with every bow........ :chuckle:

For me, $3 a shaft is more than fair. And it's about supporting our archery shops. I can't even count how many shops have come and gone. There isn't a huge margin that these shops have room to deal with. It's only getting harder for them too with online shopping. If you want to be able to have a name and face to talk to when purchasing archery equipment, then go support your local shop. If $36 is too much to get your arrows re fletched, then take up a different sport. Although I don't know of many cheaper than archery.

Im am going to treat a new string this morning, then do a remove and replace after it dries...........for myself.
I love fletching new shafts, its the scraping them off carbon shafts I hate............thats why I still love aluminums, even though I mostly shoot carbon.

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 :tup:

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?
