I am shooting one arrow at a time, at different spots, and my fletchings keep coming off. They are boning blazers attached to a bohning wrap and they start peeling from the rear. This has happened to two arrows in two days. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don't like using wraps, because there is no way to guarantee the surface is 100% free of oils, etc....; which will lead to adhesion problems. If I'm fletching a non-crested arrow, I scrub the surface with a scotch-brite pad and then clean with acetone. Then fletch with gorilla glue impact formula�the impact formula does a fantastic job, and certainly will do a better job than any of the "archery" glues. If I'm cresting, I follow the same methods of prep, then spray and then fletch as described above.
 
I didn't do it. A local bow shop did. Should I suggest to them that glue and have em redo it? If I had a jig I would do it myself.
 
Well just got done shooting. Had to move the chocolate chip cookie feather to the up position. It was not quite clearing the rest at first. It is clearing it now. After I got my sight adjusted right it started shooting excellent groups at thirty. I have to do a review of the sight here next.
