    Should I buy fobs? Its not for any accuracy benefits. I've broken 2 vanes and 2 nocks in the past 2 weeks. And I've watched a few videos about fobs and even if you tear them up, they will work really well. And another video of somebody shooting them and he hit a fob and it just flew off, are the supposed to do that or what? Or should i just go to walmart and buy a few quick fletch? Im just trying to save money, so any of you guy that break a lot of arrows, what do you guys do?

    No, My buddy shoots them and even though they are easy to install, they're louder than any vane out there IMO

    Youre better off buying the quick fletch

    Yep. I don't care about groups because you only get one shot at a deer. I pick a different spot with each arrow. That's the shot that matters.

    I just refletched 6 arrows of mine using nap quikfletch. I did it just how it said and I noticed hard bubbles in a few spots around the fletchings on a few arrows. It doesn't seem to affect my accuracy @ 30 yrds but just worries me a bit. I shoot Easton axis arrows and I'm wondering if it's just because of the smaller diameter arrows. Has anyone had this problem and if so can you help me if I'm doing something wrong?
