Hi Jody,
Yes I have fletched just one fletching back onto an arrow using the Arizona EZ fletch. You just have to feed the 2 good vanes into the first 2 arms a little tricky but not that big a deal - even with feathers. Then on the 3rd arm you just do it like normal and clamp it down. Accuracy is fine. I have been doing LOTS of experimanting and have found the 4" vanes to be a bit less accurate than the 2" types (Blazers, Fusions, or Gateway Rayzr feathers). And I was fletching my 4" vanes with about a 1/16th offset. I really think the accuracy (and stability with a fixed blade) improvements come mostly because with a 2" fletch, the fletching is effectively 2" farther away from the arrow center, ths making them much more effective at flight stabilization.

Re: wraps
hey my friend, you just sold me one one of these.(arizona ez bolt) by the time i start my shooting in aug. i will have one of these. not sure if i want to switch to the 2" vanes though,( blazers, fusions) going to look into it. i use a fixed blade head 125 gr. magnus stingers. excellent flight with the 4" vanes. would be very concerned about getting the same results...jody5252 wrote:can honestly say that i have never only refletched one vane back on an arrow. i use a bitzenburger with straight clamp jig. you still have an accurate arrow by doing it like that??nchunterkw wrote:Don't use wraps because I don't like the residue on the rail, or having to replace all 3 vanes if 1 gets damaged, or the added weight at the back of the arrow. I am going the other way, using Gateway Rayzr feathers (all 3 weigh 4.2grains). Had no problems fletching aluminum or carbon with vanes (use Gorilla glue - blue top) or feathers (use Gateway adhesive).
My method is;
strip old fletchings with razor knife
buff arrow with fine steel wool
clean arrow and fletch with isopropyl alcohol
fletch using Arizona EZ Bolt using adhesive shown above.

Re: wraps
