What's up guys today? I will explain to you how I reflect my

arrow

s. That said, here's how I do it and I want to know if you guys have any better ideas in the comments below. Let's get started. In fact, I have Marcus's.

arrow

that shot down Fletch last week, being the good coworker that I am, I told them I'd fix it, so there are a lot of advantages to reflecting

your

arrows

your

self, so one of the main advantages is that you can save money . In the long run, if you shoot too much, you'll probably knock down the fins on your

arrows

quite a bit.

Secondly, it allows you to control all the variables so you can play around and find out which fin configuration shoots best. out of your arc and because you're doing the job you really know you're doing it correctly and it's done right and lastly after you get the hang of it it's a lot of fun to do so here's everything you'll need and The link All this is in the description. First you will need an arrow that needs to be mirrored or it is a bear shaft like the one you just bought and you are ready to wash it.

We need a slightly sharp scouring pad. knife, some kind of super glue. I really like the AAE Max bond and the tight arrow wraps. This is not necessary, but I really like using them. They are super easy when you have to repair or reflow. Here you need a mouse pad. Cleaning materials. You usually use acetone or isopropyl alcohol, you need some veins or feathers and there are a lot of veins and feathers on the mat market and this is the cool part about making your own highlights is that you can find which one shoots best with your bow.

Whether it's a four Fletch, a three Fletch, a low profile long vein or a high profile short vein, today we are going to use the 2 inch blazer paddles, which are quite common on the market today, almost all arrows come with them and a

fletch

ing jig today I'm using the bits and Berger, it's kind of a classic

fletch

ing jig but there are a lot of them on the market now that we have all the equipment let's go ahead and get started the first step is to remove the rap and clean it up so I take that slightly sharp knife you don't want something super sharp that's going to cut through the carbon shafts drip the vein and then take off all the wrap and Marcus was using a quick Fletch so it's just going to Scrape very easily and then once that's done, I'm going to take that scouring pad and I'm going to rub it where there's some residual material and I'm going to remove it all, so in this case, since there's no residual adhesive from the previous Quick Fletch, I'm just going to use alcohol to clean the surface after marking it there with that pad.

Now that the air shaft is clean, we'll go ahead and add the arrow wrap to the shaft. The easiest way to do this is to remove the mouse pad. Arrow wrap, stick it sticky side up and then take your freshly cleaned arrow shaft and roll it over that, so now that you have the arrow wrap on the arrow shaft, clean that arrow wrap with alcohol and insert it into the wash chip, okay? Now that you have the arrows on your fletching jig, you'll want to grab your tweezers and then insert your vein into your predetermined point.

I have three different letters here C T and then C T, the C stands for compound, that's what I use for Marcus's arrow. The default point, but that's also an interesting part to think about, is that you can play with that length and determine what your bow shoots best, but here I'm sticking with C and then I'll do a test and make sure my vane is seated correctly. on the axis. You don't want gaps or distances between the shaft and the vein, that's not good and if you have a gap between them, which is very common, you're going to look on the side of your fletching jig and you're going to adjust them left and right. until you get a perfect seat on the shaft of your arrow, then I'm going to clean the base of my vein, so once I clean that vein, I'm going to take my super glue and I'm going to apply a thin layer to the base of that vein and then I'll take my index finger and wipe the center and that will evenly distribute the glue throughout the base of that vein and then I'll just apply it to the shaft after that.

I'm going to repeat that step twice and then all three veins will be on my shaft once I'm done with that. Sometimes if I put too much glue, I will. I take a paper towel and I'll very quickly wipe off the excess glue. One of the things I like to do is take the platinum type Fletch and put a small dot on the front and a small dot on the back. each vein and what I have discovered is that that little dot on the front back really helps with the durability of the vein. One thing to keep in mind: Flesh-type platinum takes 24 hours to set, so you don't want to shoot these arrows. for 24 hours and this is what the finished product looks like and that's it, I hope you enjoyed the video.

Go out and try doing this yourself. It's really very fun. I think you can experiment with different vein configurations to see what your bow shoots best. you can help your friends like I am doing in this case or you can just make some cool color combinations, who knows it's up to you so if you have any better ideas let us know in the comments below as always thanks for looking, take care of yourself.
