Fletching Arrows: Chore or Fun?

Fletching arrows? Chore or fun?

I say chore most times.

Chore mostly. But it's a chore I don't trust anyone to but myself and one that I can do how/when I want. It's also a chore that can be satisfying. Instead of just being glad to be done, you can know it's done right and looks how you want it to.

Fun, I like working with my hands, I can experiment with different vanes and feathers, and if requested can give customers the colors of their choice from sports fan to just standing out.

It's part of the archery experience! By doing it yourself you can build a better product!

It's not exactly what I call fun, but it's not a chore either. It's just something that needs/has to be done but its not that complicated or labor intensive.

I don't mind fletching arrows . I also cut my own shafts to make sure the ends are squared off good , and the inserts are seated squarely . Something I have found to be very inconsistent at proshops . That leads to wobbly broadheads that don't spin true .

Bingo...most shops are not near as detailed as we that do our own work are�it's just not profitable for them, close if often good enough in a lot of cases. Fletching is a combo of both to me....it is just a part of it.

I enjoyed it more when I was younger. I roll my own because I don't trust anyone else to do it for me.
Speaking of which I got a dozen 2317's in the mail over a month ago and I haven't fletched a single one yet.
