Hey everybody this is PJ Reilly from Lancaster Archery. Today what we're gonna
do is fletch our arrows that we've got for hunting. Our Black Eagle Rampage 300.
We're just gonna fletch them up and show you how that process works and put some
wraps on them. What you want to keep in mind with fletching, kind of the industry
standard today, is a two-inch high profile vein this is what you're gonna
see on most arrows. Nine times out of ten that's gonna be that's gonna work for
whitetail bow hunters in the woods treestands shooting twenty yards or so.
If you want to make sure that you have the most accurate setup you're gonna
want to experiment there are fletchings of all different shapes and sizes and
different lengths. This one here is 2.25 inches. It's a lower profile and look. In
here we've got a three-inch parabolic. This one here is about two and a half
inches and it's called a heat vane. It's of extra stiff material so there's all
different kinds of fletchings out there. And what you want to do is play with
them, try different combinations see what works best for your setup. Everybody's
going to be different. Something's gonna work you know for one guy may work
differently for another. What I like to use this is the Last Chance
Archery Vane Master Pro. This is kind of the Cadillac of fletching jigs.
But with this fletching jig I can do everything. So we I can do left or right
offset left or right helical. I can do either with this jig. I've got different
knobs that I can put in as you can see here. I can do a three vane fletch or I
can also switch out some components and I can do four fletch to try. And you know
just to experiment try different things not all fletching jigs give you that
versatility. The Vane Master Pro of course does. There are others that give
you that versatility as well, but my point is I want you to be able to
play with some different things so that you can find a good setup for your bow.
As I mentioned about helical and offset in our previous video, we determined that
my arrows spin counterclockwise so I want to set my fletching jig with a left
helical and left offset. I want my vanes to sit to the left so that my arrow, it
just encourages my arrow to keep spinning to the left. So what I've preset
here is I've got my fletching jig set up with a 4 degree left helical we're going
to begin our process with a wrap. We've got a Lancaster Archery Supply arrow wrap.
A lot of guys are using these today. What's the benefit of it? Well carbon if
you were to glue vanes directly on to the carbon and then let's say one comes
off, where you want to change vanes or something like that you peel it off you
start sanding it down. Eventually you can gouge into the carbon and over time.
That's gonna put undue wear on your arrows you don't want that. With a wrap
you can just peel the wrap off and the fletching comes with it and then your
shaft underneath is untouched. It's perfect. So we like to use wraps. Besides
that they're neat, you can customize your arrows so they look unique to you. You can
see here, we're going to use white that's going to make this arrow - it's going to
make it really stand out. You know it show us what kind of blood we've got when
you get a pass-through shot. And I'm gonna line it up just below the nock. This is a
perfect surface. This is like a carpeted surface so I can push down on to it. If
you do it on a hard surface it's not it doesn't work quite as well. So you can
get a pad or you can do it on the carpet at home and also I'm going to do is line
up and I'm kind of pressing down as I roll the vane on you can see there I get
a perfect wrap then I'm gonna bring over to my fletching jig.
I'm gonna set this in. I want to make sure I don't roll over the seam. Get
yourself a good fletching glue. Here this stuff sets really fast - this Maxi-cure.
And I'm just gonna put a thin bead. You don't want too much glue but
you need enough right down the center. I want to make sure I got a nice solid
line of glue set on here. As you like to just press and hold together for a 10
count and then this glue is so fast setting that I could just after a 10
count I can remove my jig spin the arrow move to the next one. Make sure I clean
off my arms there. Just to keep the vane from sticking to this fletching jig. I said
it's got different dials for 3 vane and 4 vane and whichever one
you want... when you rotate the arrow it's going to
click and it's going to perfectly space those vanes apart. So that you know
you're getting the correct adhesion for your vanes to the arrow. You can have
them in the right placement around the shaft. We've got lots of different
fletching jigs at Lancaster Archery Supply on our website LancasterArchery.com
you can go there and pick out whichever one you think will work for
you. And there you have it. You've got a perfectly spaced fletching job there. And
you can see we have a left offset that's 4 degrees left.
I also put a helical. Incidentally helical means that it's curving the vein
around the shaft rather than just simply placing it straight on the shaft at an
offset. That's what the offset is doing. It just turns it to one side sets
it on helical kind of curves it around just gives it a little more spin in the
arrow shaft. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube page so you can see videos like
this and lots of other things pertaining to archery. And as always if you have any
