Title: Sometimes it just doesn't pay to hurry
Post by: creekwood on October 13, 2017, 05:14:00 PM
It has been a while since I have fletched any arrows and I decided that I should do just that.  After the first fletch was glued on the shaft, I removed the clamp and...Oh Crap!  I then just started laughing out loud.     :biglaugh:

Thats ok, just put the nock on the other end and leave fletch close to point-- if it works theyll call it the creekwood.  The older i get the more these types of things happen...

I know I shouldn't laugh but that's pretty funny, finish that arrow like that and see if it makes difference, good experiment

Been awhile but have done that being in a hurry. A real mess especially when using Fletch Laq products.

My buddy chopped 36 shields to fletch a dozen cedars. Every one of them was pointing the wrong way when loaded in the chopper. All worthless.

Stuff happens.

Yeah, done it—bet it is noisy when fully fletched and shot.   Like having a parachute.

So since I last posted I Tried to match the orginal post. But I did it with right wing feathers in a left jig!! I had somehow put a package of right wing feathers in one of my left wing storage boxes. I have a left wing cock feather and two right wing hen feathers on this arrow. What is weird is these 4" feathers look like I straight fletched them. Really did not realize I errored until I happened to look at the package. What the heck, I try it.

At least it was your first arrow.  I recently fletched 6 with dyed Turkey feathers and the wrap did not hold on any of them.  18 nice feathers ruined.
