    If they're glued properly it's pretty hard to get them to come off period. I've heard of people having problems with certain glues. I would take them back.

    Yea I would take them back and explain that you just purchased them and the vanes are falling off and you would like them re fletched. If they care about their reputation at all they should help you out

    If they were using Bohning glue that is the issue. They have admitted to having a bad batch that was released. I have no written proof of this. I spoke to the Bohning rep in Vegas and he told me the issue and gave me some new glue that seems to be working better.

    hmmm…yeah, take them back. i started fletching my own arrows recently, and if done properly, it's tough to wear them out.
