Re: arrow fletching glue question
It seems like the arrows fly as good as the stock firebolts before I reflectched them. I was just curious. I will be more careful next time. The glue is Gorilla glue blu cap.

arrow fletching glue question
I recently refletched a bunch of firebolts. There is some excess glue between the vanes on the shaft. Is this worth rubbing with acetone to clean up or is this probably a non issue as far as accuracy is concerned?

Re: Broken Bolts
I have only had 2 firebolts ever break. One was from wounding a wild boar which we found 1 week later and shot 2 more time with guns. I think the pig must have rolled with part of the firebolt sticking out and snapped it in half. The other was more recently. I hit arrow on arrow during traget practi...

Re: Hard Case for a Vortex
Many of the Excal shooters break their bow down and use a hard gun case. Plano is coming out with a hard case called the Manta that will fit excals without breaking them down. I will take a hard look at that when it is available.

Re: Aftershock
I have never shot the aftershock but have used a very similar head called the Swhacker. With the Swhacker I have killed 2 bison and 1 wild boar with my crossbows. The Swacker is a great crossbow head.

End cap removal
I have some damaged end caps that I need to replace on some Firebolts and Goldtip Lazer 2's. What is the best way to remove them? When I am replacing them, do I glue them back in?

Arizona EZ fletch differences
I see that on the Arizona EZ fletch website they have a fletching jig with right helical(6 degrees) and an offset(4 degrees). Is there any real advantage of one over the other? Will they both clear the flight track channel ok with 4 inch vanes?

Re: Arizona EZ fletch problems
Thanks to every one for the help. I kinda got the hang of this fletching thing. There were several problems. I ordered some new right helical aluminum arms from Arizona EZ fletch and noticed that the new arms closed quite a bit tighter and more precise than the old ones that were 10 or more years ol...

Re: Arizona EZ fletch problems
How long do you leave the arrow in before removing it?

Re: Arizona EZ fletch problems
I am kinda confused as to why the gold tips seemed to re-fletch easier than the firebolts?
