Fletching question

[Blackhorn]

I think i already know the answer to this but I thought I would ask.... when a fletch comes off your arrow and is still in good condition do you glue it back on or throw it out and start new?

[otcWill]

They're cheap. I toss em. Normally there is still some glue on the fletch rendering it more likely to have a weak bond the second time around

I toss them too. Use a new one! (grin) The only time I'd reuse is if I was at hunting camp & did not have a replacement one & had to use the old one!

Yep toss it. More than likely you wouldn't get a good adhesion with a reused fletching.

Thanks for the replies! Thats what I suspected. I am new to fletching my own arrows and was thinking to myself why waste an apparently good fletch, but why risk it.
