Pros - Easy to change fletchings and fletchings are very consistent
Cons - Adds about $10 to the cost of each arrow
pros easy.
Cons-expensive, adds weight to back of the arrow which hurts tuning and FOC, they weaken arrow spine, they only have a 2 degree offset which with short vanes can make it harder to get broadheads to fly well.
stick with fletchings that have a helical and are glued to the shafts. i like the arizona ez fletch mini. 3 degree helical idiot proof to use(i'm proof) just put in your vanes run a line of glue down fletching, put arrow knock in knock holder then close and put cap on. let sit for about 10 min then take arrow out. i can do about a dozen in about 2 hr of watching tv.
my arrows fly great and lately with the broadheads i use(fixed blades), i only make sure that the spin true and i don't have to worry about how they fly. the first few time i set up arrows i would alway practice and see how they shot compared t my field points, but all i did was waste blades and destroy the first arrows that i shot with a field heads.
Mike0174- but how does it weaken arrow spine? My understanding it would make for a more ridged shaft?? Same arrow shaft cut shorter would make the arrow more ridged?? By no means am I promoting this product, but just from my own thoughts, I developed my own theory. I love to get feedback over things I did not think to consider.
Oops, my apology! Typo on your username... Mike0714
when you add weight to ether end of a shaft you weaken the spine.You are right. i was thinking of not recutting arrows and just using the insert with the shafts at the length they all ready are. you would be right if you cut 2-3in off to compensate for the length of the nufletch it would most likely strengthen the spine,
Reading this discussion I thought I would chime in...I purchased the NuFletch because I really did not understand the product and from the shops I talked with I figured out they did not have any experience with the product...but they were quick to tell me it would not work. I ordered the product on line because I wanted to check it out. I followed the directions, retuned after the installation, it tuned quickly and I have never looked back. I’m definitely shooting tighter groups and fletching is no longer a problem for me. I would not worry about the spine, FOC, or weight… just tune it and shoot it...that’s exactly what I did.

I have not used them but I do like the new type of quick fletches that are out. Just boil water and dip, thats it! and they are easy to line up with your broadheads.
