Obviously yes that is true, but when your hitting the same holes repeatedly the bolts start going all the way or most of the way through the bag. So now I have 2 bolts that need fletched and I would prefer to go with quick fletch if they perform well.

So now I have 2 bolts that need fletched and I would prefer to go with quick fletch if they perform well. I had this problem, but someone here recommended that I aim at different locations on the target. I do know that some targets are better for high speed xbow bolts. I have replaced a few dozen bolt fletchings and the ones I use have worked fine. I'm not familiar with quick fletch, but really don't know what I brand I used. I would guess that proper positioning and glue coverage would be more important than the fletching brand. You're not talking about the short ones are you? |

Quick fletch works fine on my arrows. No POI shift from factory fletched arrows.

The one's I got are 3" quickfletch made by new archery products. my current bolts have 4" vanes but I suppose if I have to tweak the scope a bit it's no big deal

If anything I would be inclined to say they have helped on accuracy

I had 4" fletch on my Barnett bolts, and found that the 1 3/4" quick fletch was just as accurate, and I believe they drifted a bit less in a cross wind.
I learned quickly not to shoot at the same bullseye twice without removing the first bolt.....

Absolutely I do not shoot at the same spot twice in a row but my bag is tore up from a lot of shooting so I'm due to replace it

Hey, did you have any trouble with the Quick Fletch being a wider vane? ...as in not fitting properly in the xbow rail?

Nope no problems at all with fit or function. only problem I had was my fault leaving it in the boiling water too long and the vane split. The instructions say leave it in for 10 seconds. on my second attempt I left it in for only 5 seconds and it turned out great.

No, the vanes are attached to a shrink wrap with adhesive to adhere them to the bolt /arrow.

It is a sleeve you slide over the bolt. You align it in position and dip in to boiling water but like I said don't leave it in too long. I did it with great results for half of the specified time.

Well, this sounds a lot easier than gluing one at a time.

Well, this sounds a lot easier than gluing one at a time. "One at a time"? Surely not.. I used an Arizona EZ Fletch.. Not this "Mini" one though. I use LocTite Super Glue Gel. It doesn't take long to fletch a dozen arrows.. See... m.youtube.com/watch?v=qPIxMwK8EPc |

I've never fletched arrows the old fashioned way as I'm new to hunting and archery but I think it's a no brainer and as long as you align them correctly with the nocks you almost can't mess it up

I like that jig but imo quickfletch is faster and easier and just as reliable and effective

I need to try something different. I didn't know about any of the things you and Woody mentioned.

Well it's around $15-$20 for a pack of 6 quickfletch. Worth every penny to me so maybe give them a try and if you don't like them go to the jig woody recommended
