drop em were they stand

Sorry to hear that man. Dont you hate that feeling that something always screws up "your" hunt. It never seems to do it to anyone else. I know how ya feel. Just remember, it all happens for a reason!! It might be setting you up for the buck of a lifetime!! wooot!!

i had a similar situation this year. my pro shop guy did my arrows how i wanted them but he just plopped the glue on there for the vanes and not even letting them dry rubber banded them together and then gave them to me! well i said that this isnt acceptable and he just told me to pull them apart and i told him to do it so he did and ripped a couple fletchings off. and told me o well u can just glue those back on!! i was mad! i just walked out and will never go there again. now i go to a archery place near i hunt.

Yea I also had a situation with a bow shop. Took my arrows in and told them I needed to get them re fletched. I shot a league there ever wed. so they had a week before I was back to pick them up. Well I ended up shooting 3 weeks having to go back and ask for my arrows each night that were of course not done.

Needless to say, I bought my own fletcher and said screw them.

I'm beginning to think that getting arrows fletched is one of the biggest pains in the arses. There are 3 pro shops in the area. While all of them claim to custom fletch, one won't do anything but straight (not even offset). The other one did my last set of aluminum arrows and fletched feathers on there for me. I asked for offset, I got straight. He asked if it really mattered.

There is one pro shop left in the area, and they seem to be really good, but like other's have said, they have a posted wait time during bow season. I think it's 7 days. From what I hear, it usually only takes them a day or two, but they try to be upfront about the fact that they are busy. Also, they will always stop fletching someone's arrows to help you when you go in there. THey feel that customer service is important. However, I've heard some stories that make me not want to take arrows there too.

Looks like if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself! I'm gonna order a fletcher for next season

zak123 this may not help now but it might be a good idea to invest in a good fletcher and start fletching your own arrows. That way you know there right ever time and you don`t have to depend on any one else?[&:]

I am going to order another arrow fletcher.

From what you've said, it sounds like a good idea.

Good luck!!!

Zak, it's been a tough year for you sofar, no doubt about that but I'd stay positive. By the time the rut kicks in the tropical storm season will have passed and the 13 day wait for arrows will have past and you luck can only go one way from here.

I find bowhunting takes a lot of perserverance. Keep at it hard, stay positive and you're luck will change.
