Quick fletch?

[BowhuntAB]

Hey guys/gals

My nephew bought a few packages of those heat shrink wrap/fletchings at the CAC last week. Like most teenagers he's trying to find the easy way out!

Anyone use them? They any good?

like adding any other arrow wrap, they work good for making the arrow more visible, but add a little weight. as for flight they seem to shoot as good as anything else from what ive seen.

yah i used them on a dozen arrows last year. They work great and have held up awesome, also seems to be easier to watch the arrow in flight.

Its the pre fletched heat shrink wraps i talking about.


If so....
Might work out ok then. I'll let him know. I have always hated trying to peel off the stick on wraps while i refletch so maybe i'll try them as well.

they come off much easier than stick on wraps.

I'm gonna try them as well this year, Blackmamba has had them, I don't think he's had any trouble.

Can anyone tell me what to use to get the old fletching glue off the arrows so that I can use the NAP quick fletch.

Just grab an exacto knife and scrape it off and then use a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean it up !! lightly sand the shaft and re-apply your new fletches , but if your using the NAP don t worry about sanding it down !! it should stick just fine !!

I use them and have had no problems. I tried the normal way and found out I have no paitience and said screw it

I bought a pack of these last year, they worked great and flew just as good. The problem I had with them was the wrap would crack along the fletch where it made contact with the wrap. This would then make the vane flop around like a rubber chicken and I would have to replace the whole thing. This happend to about 4 of the 12.

I have also had some cracking but I found it was when they were in the hot water to long. I also found that when dipping them in the water to go slow as to not end up with bubbles. They shoot the same as my blazer vane fletching with wraps and a great quick fix in hunting camp
