What glue do you use? It's a rare case when one falls off for me. Used to have that problem before I switched to Fletch Tite Platinum. But then again even if you don't put enough glue or get the contact correct it could still fall off due to a bad glue job...

I use fletch tite but am not quite sure I have th jig set up correctly and am not getting the correct amount of pressure.  I may simply not be using enough glue either.  I am not quiting and trying different techniques to get it right.  When they come off I don't really have any residue left on the shaft.
Take your kids and train your future competition.

I've used a few different fletching jigs and blitzenburger is the way to go.  Started burning my own feathers too. you can play around with diff. shapes.  I use Fletch tite and put a lil dab right in front of my feather. may not be the right way to do it but it seems to hold up better to me.... I've come up with some pretty wild flu-flu's.
