    Looking at re-fletching some arrows of mine since I don't like the 4 Inch vanes that are on them. I don't have a fletching jig so I was able to find the NAP Quickfletch and wouldn't mind trying them out but wanted to get some reviews from those of you who have experience or have heard of them.

    So, what do you guys think about them? How about the accuracy?

    I use them and love them. At this point I don't think I'll ever go back to regular fletchings.

    Awesome! How well have the stayed put after putting them in the boiling water? I have heard people say they have had problems with them coming loose. Any problems here?

    Never had a problem with them coming loose. They work great and are tough.

    No problems coming loose here. The only downside is that if one vane comes off (due to contact) you have to replace the whole thing.

    I've literally shot an arrow that I fletched 90 seconds prior.

    Now a couple questions on the technical side, how do you remove your old fletchings without hurting the arrows? And do you guys like up your broad heads and fletchings? I see some people say that they fly better if you line up the fixed blade broad heads and the fletchings...

    I usually use a potato peeler to remove my old ones with good success......as far as lining up blades with fletchings.....garbage......doesnt matter one bit

    Well, went by the local ****'s Sporting Goods and good thing I did. They were clearing the shelves of all archery items and happened to have one box of Quickfletch Twister 2's on sale for $9.00. I couldn't complain. Took some arrows that I needed to fletch and got em' done. They turned out pretty good... Will have a range report tomorrow evening.

    Just started using them this year. I'll never go back to have a pro shop fletch my arrows. It is so easy even I can do it!

    Well with all these good reviews, I'm glad I picked them up. I guess its time to order 12 more and finish off the rest of my arrows. I hate the 4 Inch vanes some of my spares have and wouldn't mind replacing them.

    I've never used the twisters but maybe give the quick spins a try too and see if you like them or if they make a difference. Good luck with them. Hope you like them

    I've never used them, but I've thought about trying them out. . . After reading the replies and looking at the pictures, I think I'll order some!

    If you don't have a fletching jig. . This one is OK and gets the job done. . But, You can only do one arrow at a time.

    The Bohning Co. Pro Fletching Jig - Arrow Building Supplies

    Its worth the money and saves a lot of money too!

    Thanks for starting this thread!

    Quick, simple and I have had no problems with accuracy. Great investment.

    Well I went out yesterday and shot these newly fletched arrows from 20-60 yards and wow did they shoot awesome! Groups were super tight at every range I shot them at. Let's put it this way, I liked them so much that I went by another sporting goods store today and bought 12 more for my other arrows that I have trouble getting to shoot consistently. Worth every penny and will never worry about buying a fletching jig.

    Thanks for the post!

    I watched a YouTube on how to install them! . . WOW, How quick!

    I don't believe I'll use my fletching jig anymore! :)
