Self-fletching?
So I reload my own ammunition...and I love it, but I knew going in that you really don't save any money (and certainly no time!!!) unless you shoot VERY high volume and certain cartridges. (28gauge is probably the best example). However, there are numerous advantages. I was wondering if fletching my own arrows would be the same situation? Really won't save much money, but its rewarding and you can get your arrow exactly how you want them. What have you guys found? Do you save any money, or is it a labor of love?

It can be a lot of fun and seeing your work after you're finished is great.
Check out the thread I made a day or so ago about wrapping and fletching your own arrows, somewhere in it I included the prices of all the materials I used.

Good luck and happy fletching!

There can be advantages, absolutely. Let's say you rip off one vane. Instead of taking it to the shop, just take it to your kitchen. You can control the quality as well. Bare shafts are less expensive than fletched shafts, and after the initial investment you will save some money, but not much. You also won't have to wait for custom fletched arrows at your shop. Just buy the shafts and do it yourself. It really is quite fun and relaxing.
