    So I have decided to start fetching my own arrows after numerous trips to the proshop to have them worked on. I have an Arizona EZ Fletch. The question I have is what glue do you prefer for fetching carbon arrows without a wrap?

    dont have a special one... just one of the fast setting glues... clean the old glue and fletchings off... couple of quick rubs with 400 sand paper to remove any varnish ect. that the manufacture puts on em to make im look good, then clean with acetone or denatured alcohol and ya will be fine...

    I've had good luck with Bohning Blazer bond, Goat tuff and Gorilla gel.

    Loctite or Gorilla Impact Tough Superglue. I prefer the Gorilla Super Glue.

    I use G5 blue glue works good for me. One tip I can give on the EZ fletch is once done fletching I let mine soak in a mason jar of acetone for about 30 minutes to get rid on excess glue that builds up so it don't lock up from the glue drying in the hinges

    Gorilla gel after trying a few others and not having them stay on very well. GG has been great for me and my EZ fletch.

    AAE fast set gel and Bohning fletch tite platinum. The fast set gel is better but if you use too much, it is a pain to clean up on the arrows and fetching arms. Fletch tite takes a long time to set but is pretty durable after it sets, it remains flexible which I like also. I suggest buying a few small tubes of whatever you plan on trying out and go from there.
