My second 6 arrows fletched by me

[stilllearning]

Well with some help from Eastern last night we got some of the 12 Easton Epic 500 cut to the length I need and I started putting on wraps and Quick spin fletches. I have only done 6 other arrows up to this point and they work good but I think this set turned out great. Here are a couple of pics just to show you I am stilllearning but starting to catch on.

This first pic is of both full sets and the red fletch ones are the first ones I have done and proud of them.


This second pic is of the fletching areas and I think I like the looks of the quick spins better.



I haven't tried to shoot them yet but from not great pics can you think of anything i should try on the last set of 6 that I have? I will let you know how they fly tomorrow.

Those look great ! ! ! Only suggestion I would make is check into the quick spins,,I don`t think you have to put much offset on them. I think most fletch them straight with a right helical. But as long as they shoot and group good you should be proud. It is alot of fun doing your own isn`t it?

The package did say for best results use a slight offset and what I used was about 2 deg. Not much in other words. they seemed to fly quite nice this afternoon even in some gusting wind. You are correct it is fun doing your own and it may be addictive as i stayed up untill 1:30am doing them on Friday night. ;D

Thanks mich. however bad news was the recurve we were using went CRACK when I realeased an arrow out of it. Ow well it was fun while it lasted.

Are those arrows spined for the Whitetail II you got? Got to always look at the bright side Bruce!! Give you some time on the compound now.

The whisker bisquit on the whitetail would rip the fletches off those babies I am afraid.

OOPPSS re read your post if you are talking about the quickspins then yes that is what they were for but I also have a fue flu flu's that we were shooting out of the recurve for Kicks and giggles.

I just woke up can you tell.
