lookin at drop way
i'm tired of fletching arrows. I have a fred bear element 62# 30.5 DL shootin camo gold tip hunters 29in long with 4 degree off set 4 in vanes. The biscuit is killin me. I fletched some arrows up last night, shot them 4 times and they started to fall apart. I know what i;m doin, i bought all the high tech glues, carbon prep etc..... the list goes on, but i just can't keep the vanes on very long. I even got to the point where i would put a huge gob of glue on the front of the vane to keep in on, then i breaks off in the middle. So anyhow i;m lookin for a drop away that is fail proof, easy to set up because the proshop is 2 hours away.

I would recommend a limbdriver by vaportrail. You can get one at a very reasonable price from MeanV2.

There's a lot of good ones now. Limbdriver does simplify things a bit...but even 'normal' ones are simple enough. And there's all sorts of tutorials on youtube.

Oh, and try Loctite SuperGlue UltraGel (black with blue 'wings' on the bottle). I don't I'll ever go back to "fletching" glues. You don't need it with the loctite but if you're not adding a drop at the front and back of each fletch try it. It did make my Bohning Platinums stay on better when I shot through a target or the random 2-liter/coke can/whatever-my-catches.

Although I switched from a Whisker Biscuit to a drop away (QAD Ultra) a number of months back, the whisker biscuit never gave me any fits with fletching. If you are having a problem along those lines, there is either something wrong with the "tune" of the WB or there is something wrong with your fletching procedures.
