Hey everyone. Got my bow setup last weekend and have been practicing. I shot about 60 tonight and it's just feeling better and better. Tonight I put one arrow in another one. I was excited about my consistency, but bummed I wrecked two arrows in one shot. Tonight I ripped a small hole in the fletching of one arrow when I shot and hit it with another. I'm new to all of this and I'm not sure whether I can just replace that one vane, or if the whole arrow is shot? They are Gold Tip 5575's with blazer vanes. If I can replace just the vane, is that something I can do myself, or does it require skill and should be done by a pro shop?
You can make a clean cut around the frayed part and likely be fine. Are you sure you ruined 2 arrows? If you pull the second shot, my experience is, it's usually fine.
