    Well I just tried fletch tape for the first time. This stuff works pretty darn well. Thanks to LA Equalizer for the generous gift. I most likely would never have bought any, but what a great item to take to hunting camp.

    Has anyone else had as good as good of an experience with it?

    I agree 100% fletch tape is all that I will use on my feather-fletched arrows. Its as easy as it gets and hold as well as anything.

    Glad you like it VA. I was hesitant at first myself, but after trying it on feathers, I may fletch up a few with vanes for the compound. That stuff is pretty strong as far as I can tell. I have been slappin arras together for about 3 weeks and have yet to lose a feather.:cool:

    Joe, you need to try it out. You will not be disappointed.

    I've been using fletch tape for about 12months , its strong , durable and makes fletching a breeze . I use it on my 4" barred feathers for my Compound bow and have never had any problem with it holding .

    Thanks Bobby , i am running out and you saved the day :cool:

    Yeah Bobby I going to give it a go. I was going to just use it for my feather tracers but since I'm going to need to refletch up some arra's I thought what the hell I'll try the tape on the feathers as well! Thanks again buddy!

    VA... I agree, the tape is a great invention. I can do arrows nearly as quickly with my single fletcher as I could with a multi-fletcher.
    I still put a daub of glue on each end of the feathers, otherwise it seems with time the end will curl with a helical.

    When's your turkey season?? Should be getting close, isn't it?
