So have y'all ever used these fletchings on heat shrink? Thought they'd be fast and easy

I've used the NAP quickfletch. They are great.
Fast, affordable and pretty tough. Plus you get a nice crested arrow when you're done.

:D They are easy and slick..only issue from our shooters is they dont hold up well in cold weather...both vanes and wrap

Just wondering how to get the wrap off if you need to refletch.

Says on the back of the ones I bought to slice and peel the old one off and install new. They say ten min in boiling water. Have you guys used a heat gun?

I have used the NAP quickfletch and the equivalent Blazer vane offering put out by bowning. Both have held up fine for me. I use them on my hunting/3D rig and I shoot traditional glue on fletchs on my paper bow. I like the shrink on ones because the easy to replace. I have done a couple in my jetboil stove on the side of mountains after having them ripped or torn on rocks/brush/gear/etc. I find it easy to take a knife and cut a slice off between each of the vanes. Then just grab each vane it comes off with the attached tubing. Clean and simple. I wouldn't call them economical but you pay for the ease and convenience.

I have a JoJan and use to fletch all my arrows but now I use NAP and just started trying the Blazers heat shrink. The shrink on's are way faster and hold up well as the other method.

A definite plus to use these if you also shoot a W/biscuit
I like the Blazer vane version as well.

LOL reminds me I have to pick some more up.

Depending on your setup you may also want to have a look at Starlight FOBs (Fletching Only Better) Check them out on You Tube

If you put a heat gun on them they fall right off, no mess and fast.

I use NAP Quik fletch. Work great easy to put on. 2inch blazers and made my broodheads group great.
