    I don't use them but a lot of people will probably recommend quick fletch. One guy mentioned how in camp its a lot easier to dip them in boiling water then to glue them on. Which can be a plus. They take a lot less skill.

    Some people like how easy they are to use, some people say they are stiffer and add more resistance to pass through shots. I use them all the time. No personal data on the pass through

    Figured to take them with in case of needed to fletching some arrows while away from home.

    Durability is okay, as long as the fletchings don't go into the target. If you shoot a lot then would say fletch your own.

    I tried them and liked them but, I shoot a lot and go through a good 6 dozen arrows a year if not more. At $20 a half dozen that pays for a jig in about 6 months for me and enough vanes.

    If you don't shoot that much they are great. If I went to a hunting camp much, I wouldn't be afraid to use them at all.

    I haven't had good experiences with them. The durability is lacking however they would do ok in a pinch.

    I used some just to check them out and actually liked them. I shot 2 deer last fall without any problems on total pass thru. I did shoot one thru a privacy fence however, and it came off lol......
