A buddy of mine needed a dozen arrows fletched up ASAP and I'm short on time, so I picked up some NAP Quikfletch. I figured they were worth a shot to see how they worked. It took me probably less than 7 minutes to fletch a dozen arrows without glues, jigs, vanes, etc etc. Seriously, I will never fletch another arrow so long as I live. Why bother?? These things are f-in' great!!!!! I feel like God has just shined a new light upon me. Hallelujah!
Ive been using them for a year Justin...not a single problem with them. I had one tear after i shot it through at target at the campground G2G. No bog deal though. I dont like the color choices though..no customization
Customization is overrated IMO. In my old age I prefer quick and simple versus complicated and cool looking. By the time I get off work and get home the last thing I want to do is spend a bunch of time fletching arrows. 10 minutes and I'm done and shooting. Color choices be damned. Colors have never helped me kill anything in my life!
The only real downfall I see with this product is the cost. $2.50 per arrow. I can fletch a dozen arrows with blazers for about $8 but it would cost about $30 for these. Flecthing the "old fashioned" way is a bit time consuming but I actually look forward to it.
I used to enjoy fletching until I got married, got a dog, and bought a house. Now it seems like I've got something to do every night after work, and every weekend. I can't wait to have kids, then I really won't have any time. Check out newarchery.com and look for the Quikfletch. Plenty of info and photos there. We are trying to get some Bowhunting.com custom quikfletches made up. If we succeed they'll be available in the cart for purchase.
I'm married, have a house, minus dog, and I hear ya. I honestly don't know what I would do if I had kids:p
JZ, want to do a dozen more at the office when I come by this week? I have never used them but willing to give them a try. Let me know. Do you have them at the office?
A dozen arrows fletching might take me 30 minutes on a single jig. AND my arrows look badass vs blah. LOL Don't you know bowhunting is all a big fashion statement?...and you're wearing the equivalent of highwaters and suspenders.
I enjoy fletching arrows and my daughter loves to help. Sometimes when she "helps" I have to refletch! I wouldn't trade her help for anything though!
