What arrows are they? Sometimes a green scotch brite pad is needed to lightly scuff the arrow, then clean w/ alcohol and refletch.

Through a WB?

You said they are two years old but never shot? Could be dry rotted from storage. They should last more than 2 years but even glue gets old.

I flecth arrows for part of my job and if a customer ever told me that the arrowsI fleached fell off i would tell him to go somewhere else cause it should never happen.Bigtimgo to that pro shop andhand them some rubbing alcohol and tell them to rub there shafts down before fleatching them.I can bet everything that they dont do this because no matter what glue a pro shop uses this shouldnt happen go there and ask them if they do that and if they dont they them to close the shop!!!!

CLEAN THE SHAFTS

I had the same problem with new arrows but only with Blazers vanes. I went to wal-mart and bought this Instant "KRAZY" glue. I got the one with the brush applicator and goes on purple and dries clear. Its about a thin as water and dries fast. I've had no more problems since.

I forgot to say that I painted the krazy glue around the fletchings(on arrows that still have all 3). Onboth sides, also front and back sides.
