Title: Loose Fletching
Post by: milcol on August 18, 2010, 02:51:00 PM

I was shooting some arrows in my yard the other day and one hit the fletching and tore it loose a good half inch,I would like to know if I can just repair it or does a new feather have to placed,I tried a little super glue but it did not hold suggestions appreciated.

Put it back in your fletching jig at the rig setting and use DUCO or fletch tite to glue that loose fletch right back in place.

If it is only a half inch you could put a little super glue gel on and hold it in place till it sticks.

Or you could cut the loose end off. A half inch will not be noticed. Lay a drop of glue at the end, or wrap it, and keep on shooting.

If it was me, I'd simply refletch with a new feather.
