Arrow Fletching Kit
Its that time again. A magical time in which thousands of
bowhunters begin entering the woods to attempt another year
chasing the buck of their dreams. Oh, the procedure one
must endure in effort to be prepared when the big one steps
out into the wrong place at the perfect time. You must scout
out your hunting site, get a license, gather all of your
equipment and practice shooting.
Most of you that read this most probably have better sense
than I do, so you may have already developed your own plans
and preparations. Shooting practice is essential for the
successful hunter. The problem that I encounter is that
I always seem to destroy my arrows during the practicing.
For some this may not be a problem, but for a lot of us
we just can’t keep shelling out cash for more arrows.
What I do is buy good arrows, shoot half of them during
practice, and leave some for the hunting. Well, what if
I tear up all the practice arrows? I fix them. Short of
bending the shaft out of wack, most problems encountered
with target practice include tearing the fletching or losing
the nock. These problems can be fixed with little effort
and you can turn those old 6 dollar arrows back into productive
tools instead of them just sitting out around in the garage.
Instead of taking your arrows down to the local archery
shop to get them re-fletched, do it yourself. Bohning Co.
Ltd. offers an excellent kit for re-fletching and re-nocking
your arrows. This kit contains everything that you need
to fletch and nock 50 arrows. This kit is designed for you
to make your own arrows, provided you have access to shafts.
I use it for what is described above, fixing my screw ups.
The Bohning Arrow Fletching Kit includes:
1 professional arrow fletching jig
150 vanes
50 nocks
1 ¾ oz of Fletch tite cement
116oz bottle of Prep-Rite surface conditioner
And a set of arrow holders.
The time that it takes to fletch an arrow is less time than
it will take you to call and place an order at the local
shop. What if you don’t even have a local shop? I recommend
this kit to any archery pro or wanna be. Im still just a
wanna be, but Im learning everyday. If you’ve got buddies
that just seem to only be interested in this bow shooting
stuff once a year, during the season, you could become a
popular person with one of these handy kits. This may not
be a plus for some of you, but you can always trade for
a cold beverage of your choice.
If your shooting arrows and you don’t like the idea of having
to buy new ones due to torn vanes or lost nocks, please
contact Bohning Co. Ltd. at (231)229-4247 or fax (231)229-4615.
You can reach them on the web at http://www.bohning.com.
They have an excellent staff and are more than happy to
answer any questions you might have.
