Anyone know where I can get a dozen aluminum arrows refletched in or near the downriver area?
I have a dozen aluminum arrows that are like new, hardly been shot that have been sitting in a case for a long while and the current plastic vanes have dry rotted and are cracking and falling apart.
I have begun removing the old vanes, cleaned and prepped the aluminum shafts for new vanes, now I just need to find a place to get them refletched, (I even bought new replacement vanes), just need someone to put them on now.

Right hand helical, left or straight? I may be able to help. Been making my own arrows for over 20 years.

For the price of universal fletching jigs, it's worth getting one, To do repairs.
I've had my Blitzenburger 25 years, worth every penny. Just like loading for your guns, fletching your own is satisfying.

+1 get a bitzenburger I have had the same one for years, actually it was my dads first. Refletching your own arrows is relatively simple. FWIW I had the arizona ez fletch, and it is by no means any where close to a fletching jig.

Used a borrowed Bitzenberger back in the 50s. Bught our own feather burner to trim the feathers back before vanes.
