    Question Blazer Fletching

    Just got back from the Pro shop.Got my XX75 2314 eastons fletched with Bohning 2" Blazers.New I was in trouble when I got home on the bottom of my truck floor was a fleching that had come off.I shot a few arrows and about 4 out of 15 had fletching come off.The Pro shop said he had never put Blazers on aluminum arrows before.What kind of glue do you guys use.Thanks,Mil.

    AAE Fastset Gel ...

    Carbon or Aluminum,, those vanes shouldn't have fallen off. Sounds like a poor job of preping the shaft to me ..

    I use Goat Tuff fletching blazers. I have only fletched carbons, but have had no problems.

    AAE Fastset gets my vote. It keeps the fletching on and it is the best I've used as far as applying it to the shafts as well.

    Goat tuff is the fletching glue that me and my shop live by. We won't fletch any arrow without it.

    I don't know about the glue being the whole problem. If you had more than one fletching come off during shooting and one just faling off on the ride home. It sounds more like to me that the guy who did your arrows didn't follow through on prepping the arrows correctly. Glue is glue and most of them out there are compatible with aluminum arrows. I use Fletch-tite glue on both aluminum and graphite shafts with blazers and don't have no problems with them coming off. I think I'd ask this guy what process he uses in prepping the shafts? Or maybe even getting another Pro Shop to re-fletch them for you. JMO
