Title: Who wants to learn how to fletch? Check again a new winner had to be drawn
Post by: vermonster13 on November 11, 2007, 10:02:00 PM

Tuesday is Howard Hill's birthday so in recognition of that I'm giving away a Martin J-9 fletcher, fletch tape and enough 5" feathers to do your first dozen.

Rules:

1) Please only sign-up if you have not yet learned to fletch

2) The winner needs to post pics of their first fletched set

3) The J-9 is to never be sold or traded. It must be passed on the same way as is being done with this drawing and with the same rules.

I was given this fletcher this spring when I learned to fletch by 4runr and would like it to continue on in the same tradition.

If you can live with these rules and meet the criteria please sign-up and I'll draw a winner Tuesday 11/13 around 9PM eastern.

I'm just shot my first trad deer with a broadhead I sharpened but..not an arrow I fletched. Learning the art of arrow building is next on my list!! I'm totally in for the contest!

David...i'd like to donate a dozen 50/55s raw shafts to this cause.....

Title: Re: Who wants to learn how to fletch? Check again a new winner had to be drawn
Post by: vermonster13 on November 11, 2007, 11:29:00 PM

Very kind offer Steve. But(always a but as COB says) then the person would need nocks, points and a taper tool. If folks want to throw those in or the winner is willing to get those, we'll add your shafts into the kitty, otherwise it may be better to do a separate giveaway for those so someone who can put them to use gets them. Fair enough?

Vermonster13 gave me the go ahead to include some wraps in the giveaway. So the winner can have any wrap he/she desires. Here is a pic of some I fletched up for my Brother In Law today.

I have tried it using other peoples stuff with little or no success. I have even tried to help do some, but having the equip. to keep at trying would be great! I like the rules, sounds good to me. Unless my previous experience precludes me, I'm in.

Making arrows is a skill that not only eldudes me but just not my cup of tea. I love shooting well put together arrows, just hate putting them together. I have the utmost respect for those who can do it and am in awe of those who do it well. I hope all those that get the chance to try enjoy it. I'd rather build 10 bows than 2 arrows. A tube of flecth tite and me in the same room make for some interesting veiwing.I might try again in the future to put some together if I ever get around to getting some fletching tape.
Thank you for your generousisty guys! "Don't put my name in" just saying thanks!
God bless,Mudd
