Got some arrows finished

[Jeremy K]

Finally got around to using my spine indexer and fletched some arrows.

Nice, I like the blue black. I need to get me some more fletched up, I have been on a reloading kick lately and need to take a break and check the tune on mine,wife's and sons bows also.

They look good.  Are those wraps or painted cresting?  And more importantly, do you fletch up pink ones for doe? 

[Jeremy K]

Those are wraps ,I fletched one up with no wrap to see how hard the fletchings were to remove ,long story short ,its way easier to remove with a wrap.I hadn't thought about gender specific fletchings til you mentioned it. I better go with something gender neutral ,just to be on the safe side .

That's why many people fletch with yellow.  You just never know and its too late when the deer appears.

My arrows vary across all colors of the rainbow.  So i guess I must shoot happy arrows that cover all genders but only relate to happy deer.  Deer apparently know this, because they can't frolick to my freezer fast enough.

Nice arrows!  No leaf or forest floor duff color there.

I float mine for the spine, are these shrink wraps?  I had some issues with them so I now glue them on myself, bit of a pain but works better for me.

Those are the self adhesive ones . I'm new to building arrows myself so I figured I would just pick some stuff and see how it works type of deal.

Those are sharp looking. I havent used wraps in while but I always liked white, I could see em fly and also see blood real well on them. White is also the easiest to find in the woods for me. What jig are you using?

Right now I'm just using the easton EZ fletch which I think works amazing,  if I get into it more and do some research, I might get a better unit like a blitz or vane master.

How much does a wrap weigh?
Never see that color combo before....it looks real sharp!

I used a Bitz forever, ditched it for the blazer tower. Fletching takes an hour instead of six

Bitz is great for feathers.  For blazers the easier the better

Between 5-10g depending on wrap. This is for 7"x1"

Very cool...i.am going to order a pack. That additional weigh is minimal for a hunting arrow

I have never notice any different with regard to tune and I like heavy arrows.
