Do I need a fletching jig to replace vanes?
I just ripped a vane off one of my arrows by hitting it with a second arrow (So go me for good groupings)
I do not have a fletching jig
Do I need one to replace the vanes? Or does it just make it easier?
I have never done this before at all. The entire vane replacement will be my first time
It looks relatively easy on YouTube. But YouTube also makes replacing the clutch in a E36 BMW look easy. (Spoiler...it is not)
Any recommendations on good replacement vanes or supplies? I do back yard target shooting with a compound bow. Nothing fancy. Not taking super long distance shots. My shots are anywhere from 30 to 50 ft.
Also is it worth doing this instead of just buying new arrows? These are carbon fiber arrows and seem nice. They shoot great. I'd prefer to keep them. But the veins on all of them are starting to show age.
