Title: First Fletching Job
Post by: BBWV on March 10, 2011, 09:56:00 PM
Well, I did my first fletching tonight. I think they turn out alright but there's lots of room for improvement. There Trad 500, used fletch tape and a Grayling jig that I pick up from a good guy I shoot with from time to time. Hope to use one on a FL Pig next month.

Look great to me! I like the bright hen feathers mixed with the natural white with black barred cock feather.

Keep it up!

They look good from here!

Guess I'll have to break down and try fletching tape.


Though the smell of Duco brings back hazy, hallucination laced and distorted childhood memories of gluing model rockets to my desk.

Great fletching job. I like the color scheme, the yellow should stand out well on a hog. Best to you on your hog hunt. Be sure to post pictures for us.

Looks good to me.  You should try the glue sometime just so you can see how great the tape really is.
