I have used the tape for a couple of years and haven't had any problems.

This is what my Boy Scouts use when we make arrows for the Troop.  The arrows are lost or broken before the feathers come off.

I like the Bohning tape but I got some others (can't remember the brand) that I just don't like.
It's not about the kill but the experience.

I use it all the time on all types of shafts. I usually leave my quiver full of arrows in the card at all times. Sometimes in the summer time, I have found shafts that the feather has shifted from the heat using the tape but that is my fault for leaving them in a hot car. I love the fletching tape and find it great to use!

Yeah, stick with the Bohning. Also it does seem to have a shelf life.

Douglas... Yes, I was joking. Although I still prefer glue for fletching, fletch tape appears to be  a popular and reliable product.

Just can't suppress the thoughts that pop into my head sometimes.

Whew! I was worried there for a minute! You got me there for sure. I thought,.......surely, he's not.......naw! Then, I thought, he must be kidding!

Thanks for the reassurance!

I have no problem with it. Works great for me.

Been using it for a long time and really like it.  No weather problems with feathers coming off like using glue.

No one has mentioned:  When using glue, everytime I needed it, the glue was dried out.  Tossed away a lot of tubes that were at least 1/2 full.  Don't have that problem using the tape.  You will get several dozen shafts from 1 roll of tape.

I believe the next set of arrows I fletch will have the tape, because I won't have to wait as long between feathers. Thanks for the thread.

Use it all the time, works great, just dab a little fletch tight glue on ends of fletch when finished.

Fletching tape...seems to somewhat cleaner to use, and I seem to end up doing more feathers/$ spent. Oh ya, much much easier to refletch.

Use tape all the time now.........anyone want some "vintage" fletching cement/glue?......some are almost mint!
