Hey I was just wondering how I should go about putting new fletchings on my arrows, I want to just glue them to the carbon shaft of the arrow but don't know how far back to put them and how to keep them straight and what type of glue to use. I want to put the longer vane fletchings on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

wow...[&:] i have no idea tbh. i love the Goat Tuff glue, but if you dont wanna pay to have a shop fletch them, you arent gonna want to buy the glue. It shouldnt cost much at all to do some arrows.
