Those arrows look real good How do they shoot compared to traditionally fletched arows? How does it hold up?

Looks like it has potential to be a great product!

Thats all I use now, called Shrink Fletch, it comes with DVD instructions.
Anybody want a Bitzenberger with a right wing clamp, cheap.

Another thing I like about it is the hold down spring never touches the bolt, only the sleeve.

+Looks good, work great, easy to do. -A bit expensive and adds weight to the back of the arrow, same as wraps.
But, if you don't fletch, it is a good option. Holds up pretty well, though not if you have to pull arrows through target because they went in past fletching.

I made some up but didn't shoot them yet. Hope they work good. All you do is dip them in hot water

I heat the water in a microwave just to the point of boiling.Make sure you have enough water in a tall container to cover the entire fletch/wrap.
Lower the fletch into the water slowly so that air bubbles can escape out the top as the plastic below shrinks.

I used these a lot on my arrows up to this year when I switched to a crossbow. As long as you follow the instructions that come with them they always worked great for me.

saxman, how did the quikfletch hold up?

saxman · Post by **saxman** » Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:54 pm

They did OK
They wont survive a pass through on a deer or target like vanes do,they get a little brittle but overall I would use them again

I have never heard of them but it looks interesting. I might have to give them a try. It is basically a heat shrink idea? What if you put a light coating of mild glue under the wrap? Maybe than it would not come off as easily? If the glue is mild enough than you could still re fletch again later?

The wrap already has adhesive on it,the vanes come off of the wrap on a pass through but it can be fixed easy.
