Finally found a video for us short draw guys (27.5 myself)! Im glad I found this video because I just ran out of hunting arrows.

Novice archer here. Just ordered heavier limbs and stiffer arrows for my takedown bow. Got my nice arrows in the mail with some assembly required. I needed this video. Thanks!

Awesome Video! I’ve always wanted to fletch my own arrows. I’ve been with Easton since the first Axis arrows way back and now have gone up to the FMJ last year and am super impressed with them. After watching this video I can see me becoming obsessed with setting them up!!!

This is my first go with the hexx and I’m loving them. Cut at 27, 50g of brass, 6” wrap, 4 fletch pro max, and nockturnal. Best setup I’ve found so far.

if you turn the arrow wrap around the way its supposed to be you can center the vane.i run the same components and it works great

I shoot 27inch injexions with like 50 grains up front in 400 spine and shoot like 58 lbs 28 inch draw and they fly really good .

One of my goals for this year was to build my own arrows. This helped to make the process seem not quite as daunting. Since I'm going to be using an Easton insert system similar to what you're using, I'm definitely going to try using the Max Bond glue on the inserts instead of the 2 part epoxy.

I’m going to do exactly this. I hope you’re still happy with it. Great explanation.

Yes thanks for this video alot of people dont know about the combination of the AAE product's. 👍🏹

I've had the same issues with Max Stealth vanes. Used Acetone to clean and everything but sometimes they would just flake off from passing through targets. I will be using the Max Pen when I do my builds for this year. I'll also be trying Flex Fletch FFP-360's.

Enjoyed the build. Liked the wrap technique.

Happy birthday

Watching you wrap that first arrow was extremely satisfying haha. I shoot the AAE pro Max vanes and I’ve noticed they don’t adhere to bare carbon very well and don’t adhere very well with regular glue. I think I’ll try some wraps and the AAE glue like you and try my luck.

I use the blue G5 glue w my max pro hunters and max pro vanes. Never had a adhesion problem. Primer is a must.

my arrow set up is 633 grains

Happy bday brother. Great vid.

Happy birthday old man bed lucky for my favorite friend 👊👊👊👍👍

Happy birthday old man

G5 blue glue works perfectly also. I can’t rip the vanes off.

Happy Birthday!!!

Nice arrows, new friend here!

You're 100 Grands low for my 75 lb bow and my 31-inch draw and my spine is about 280

Happy Birthday brother !

Looks like your building process is sound. Now time to up those numbers with a better build and higher point weight. I also watched your tuning video. If your arrows come bare, have you considered bare shaft tuning?

Happy birthday ☺☺☺☺

Great video ... thanks. Do you shoot the same arrow for 3D Outdoor or Indoor? Or do you have another setup with thicker shafts?

Quick , question. I buy my arrows at the archery shop, they usually already have the Vanes glued on . So they cut them down glue or epoxy the insert in . Well it never fails I get one out of a half or whole dozen where the insert isn't set flush with the start of the carbon. So With that said I'm loosing one arrow every time. Is there any way to get it out and reset it? I just went and got another 1/2 just last week. 1st time in a long time they were all good. I know I should probably just start doing my own but I already have so many things on my plate , that it's just not something else I want to get into. Great video by the way. & Well now you got me thinking I should be doing them myself. But I have like 8 or 9 dozen arrows laying around & shouldn't need any for years I hope. But I know any one of the Dozen I grab there is going to be one that I just will not use for the for mentioned reason. Thanks in advance for your help and reply!

Being that you shoot 80 pounds, any reason you don't shoot something like FMJ's and get a little more weight? 7.9 gpi just seems so light for such a high weight to me. Curious why you chose those! Thank you

In your opinion. What is the lightest weight arrow would you shoot for hunting whitetail but still get a pass thru. I'm currently shooting 303fps at 27"/70lbs with 378gr. arrows. Is this too light?

Remember if you're ever in Texas I always need help dragging my critters out

I am kinda new to fletching and I can’t get my vanes to be even and I have every there mark on my clamp and am putting the fletch in the same spot every time do you have and tips to become more consistent thanks and great vid

Do you use the hunter vanes? If so do you use the same 4" wraps and line the vane up to the front of the wrap or the mark on the jig

Thanks for the video. Just what I’ve been looking for! One question though. I’ve never attempted to build my own arrows and have never used a jig but I’d like to learn. When you put the fletchings on, how did you determine the space between each fletching? Thanks for the help!

have you ever considered increasing spine stiffness to a 280 or 300 and adding a 50-100 grain footer? I think you might be very impressed with the penetration and improved flight results of adding more tip weight. it also improves the structural integrity of the setup. I shoot a 650 grain arrow with 250 up front out of a 70 lbs bow and when I made the switch the results were stunning. it also has the added benefit of quieting the Bow down considerably.

superb

I have a tendency to tear a vane occasionally, i have never used wraps, how hard is it to strip and reflech the arrows?

I’m having a hard time finding those inserts. Could you point me in the right direction?

it absolutely pisses me off that i cannot polish and prep the shaft enough to keep vanes from violently flying off during execution all the while I cannot F$#@%@#N pull my arrow out of the bail of hay...............my life

Just go to Dudley's videos. He actually knows this stuff....

yaaaaa I am drunk .....shove it

Do you not worry about the spine?

Happy birthday
