Does anyone shoot these? If so, how well do feathers stick? I've heard there might be an adhesion issue...

If there dipped like the camo ones,  you shouldn't have any problems.  I don't

jkm97

Not sure what finish is on them, haven't seen them in person. But I read online reviews which suggested adhesion issues with plastic vanes, not sure about feathers. I imagine a wrap would solve the issue though...

As soon as Big Jim gets some 7595s in we may find out...

Haven't had a problem with feathers using fletch tape, but I have had problems with brass inserts. Ended up using epoxy to hold them in.

Real Buckmaster

I have shot them for several years no issues at all.

Thanks guys. Strange on the inserts. If I try them it will be with 100 grain brass, so that could be a concern.

They would look nice covered in blood....

Ive never had a problem. I use the steel force Fletch glue for the feathers, inserts and all. Ive never had a problem i felt was due to adhesion.

I used Goat Tuff for fletchings, and Kimsha hot melt for brass inserts. No problems yet.

I've got 6 of them fletched with fluflu's. Been shooting them almost 5 yrs with no problems.

I like shooting them and they do look good covered in blood.  The only thing I didn't like was that the finish is slightly rough and I had several animals hear the arrow while I was drawing. I switched to axis arrows to fix this.  Good tough arrows though.

I have a number of them purchased and fletched up with feathers quite a few years ago without experiencing any problems.

They are a few grains lighter than the wood grain. The 75/95 Nugents are a 340 spine. 75/95 wood grain spine at 300 according to Big Jim.

Says the same on Goldtips website, which is why I'm interested in them. Their spine and weight might work out perfect for me. I ordered one to test, so we will see.
