How-to Fletch and Wrap an Arrow

[Bassistdan1]

Thanks for posting this, man! I'm going to start getting into building my own arrows from both wood and carbon and this video was VERY helpful!

[Avatar230594]

Instead of wrapping, can you just paint it?

[OutdoorsLifeNC]

why dont you use fobs?? they are freakin awsome!

[TheMrjeeper]

are them left hand jigs?

[ikesoutdoors]

@TheMrjeeper No, they are right handed.

[XxZeRoGravityxX101]

dont use a razor to take vanes of use tool u can take layers of carbon off by using a razor!

[theroadtothepgatour]

what are the advantages to a tower jig im leaning toward the tower jig from bohning is the tower just faster and easier

[ikesoutdoors]

@theroadtothepgatour My only experience with one was a negative one. Seemed like they were nothing but trouble.

[siciliancara]

there is no binder in the shaft of a carbon arrow

[jtschid0910]

Do you need a specific type of jig to fletch both arrows and crossbow bolts or will just any jig do?

[ikesoutdoors]

@jtschid0910 any jig will do it. You have to remove the moon or flat nock and put in a regular nock from an aluminum arrow.. After you fletch the bolt pull out the nock and put your other nock back in.

[jtschid0910]

Man Ike your videos are very informational and interesting, keep em coming!

[ikesoutdoors]

[SuperArcheryMan]

how do you curve fletchings after if you have a straight jig. do u use elastics?

[jamesfreddyc]

Use a hairdryer on the wrap and this will melt the glue just a little bit and allow you to simply peel it off (fletchings and all)

[littleriveroutdoors]

very good vid man thnks for posting.

[mrshane0087]

[Cabinboy1989]

Just used the tips from your video to fletch my first arrows. Thank you for this highly informative and excellent video

[ikesoutdoors]

@Cabinboy1989 Awesome I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[Cabinboy1989]

Terrific video - thank you

[g21gonefishing]

i just bought a bohning jig and the magnet is ajustble can you tell me why and who i should come up with ajusting it thanks

[behemoth421]

what is the benefits of using an arrow wrap compared to just the bare shaft?

[ikesoutdoors]

Better visibility, and it lets your feathers/vanes adhere better.

[nolangreen]

I'm getting into traditional archery but with carbon arrows and would really like to figure out how to fletch beings the nearest archery shop is four hours away

[DaveooDoes]

I don't know about using a razor blade to do that. Seems like you could accidentally shave some of the shaft itself off.

[ikesoutdoors]

I've never had a problem with it. I tried to boil them off but it just didn't work out that great. I keep the blade good and flat against the shaft so I don't dig in.

[1019drummer]

Steele force is my fave,I dumped the bohning platnum after trying this stuff. If you use the spry accelerator that come w/it the arrows are shootble within mere minutes. Great vidio thanks for sharing.

[1019drummer]

@1019drummer And of course just as I finished posting you went on to mention platnum,lol omg???? my bad.

[xdemonsk8rx]

"white residue on ur shaft" lmfaooooooo insane video bro top notch

[jschoen100]

Great video. I took off a dozen wraps last night, quickly. Boiled a large pot of water. While boiling placed end of the arrow in the boiling water for about 20 seconds, pulled out and wrap peeled right off. No affect to the arrow or nock. Used a rag to rub the rest of the glue off the arrow. Works great!

[DrChrisBiomed]

Have you tried just to peal off the wrap? Leave the fletching on the wrap and it'll go really quickly.

[ikesoutdoors]

These wraps were made by Battledrum and when they go on an arrow they stay on. With some of the others I can peel them off but not these.

[DrChrisBiomed]

From Bohnings site:

"Removing ArroWraps:

Option 1) Soak in hot tap water for approximately five minutes. Peel ArroWrap off. Option 2) Heat ArroWrap with hair dryer until soft. Peel ArroWrap off. Option 3) Scrape ArroWrap off using Bohning's new "Stripper" tool. Always clean and prep shaft after removing ArroWrap."

Maybe 1) or 2) could work on your Battledrum wraps? Worth a try atleast.

[ikesoutdoors]

Never tried 1) I'll give that a shot next time. Thanks for the tip.

[allthingsrandom190]

very good vid 5 stars

[bassnman420]

exact way i do it fletch tite is my fav glue as well it lasts me a month and i shoot at least 100 arrows a day and it like 5 bucks a tube at bass pro

[journeytheoutdoors]

gold tip arrows are the best ever!

[huntwithairguns]

What advantages do u get by using wraps?

[ikesoutdoors]

Better visibility in low light if you use a bright wrap like white or yellow or florescent colors. They also allow for better vane and feather adhesion.

[hdracer13]

Do you have a better way of quickly refletching an arrow? And most manufacturers stress not using harsh chemicals when refletching...

[ikesoutdoors]

You can speed things up by using the fast set glue and you can also use a bohning tower jig or an Arizona ez-fletch. both put all 3 feathers on at once.
