$70 to fletch 11 arrows???!!!

[TXFlatPicker]

My wife was kind enough to pick up my arrows from Allstar Archery in Lewisville, when she called me with the bill.....I fell over, $6.40 an arrow for 4'' vanes. These Beaman ICS 340's new are $75 with vanes and nocs!! did I get snookered? or has the rate gone way up since I last had a set done about 10 years ago?

[trjones87]

thats ridiculous. i think anything over 4 is pushing it. its stupid how much they charged for that stuff

[jsshr85]

way to much money for hobbies these days

[blacksunshine]

not sure which bemans you have but cabelas has some at $24 a 6 right now....

[Passthrough]

I'll fletch 'em all day long for 1/2 of that for ya! Sounds like a bit high to me!!

i would end up in jail over my response to that , that is so far past crazy ,,,, How can people do that to customers?

[Osceola]

I don't bash bow shops that I know nothing about so all I'm going to say is you could have bought a fletcher for less than that.

[Nitro1970]

last blazers I bought was like $0.12 each so yeah I think you got the shaft. I did have dealer try to sell me 1 foot of loop rope for $18 a while back.

x2, and with a 100 blazers off of ebay with glue

[techbowhunter7]

that is ridiculus, i was paying $3 an arrow and couldnt take it any longer, so now im fletching my own and its actually kinda fun

[InfantryCPT]

Wow, I'm gonna start a Fletching only shop in Lewisville, charge 5 bucks an arrow and drive a Mercedes!! Man, the shaft is not all you got! and X2 what techbowhunter7 said, fun and I can put anything on it I want!

[WyoHunter]

Shafted!

[techbowhunter7]

when you fletch your own arrows you can experiment without costing a fortune

[leasecommander]

Do it yourself, I agree with the above comments, it is fun, you can make them however you want, and it is something to do during the off season. I bought a used fletching jig on ebay for $ 39, then bought glue, wraps, vanes, and stripper for less than that.

Most shops charge in the $2.50-$4.00 range to refletch. I have been doing my own for several years now because of it. I also shoot feathers on my indoor spot arrows and they will charge more to do feathers because it takes longer.
