Title: Tapered Shafts
Post by: snag on October 11, 2007, 04:37:00 PM
Just picked up some POC tapered shafts. They are 5/16" on the nock end. Is there anything different involved in fletching these because of the different diameter and tapering? I use a JoJann fletcher.

No but you'll most likely have to reset your jig because of the taper.

I don't do anything different. Fletch just the same as all my other arrows.

My Jo Jan does them with the same settings as parallel shafts.  Bill G.
