Those look great. I have always had really good luck with epics and them flying well/being tuned. I think it has to do with how snug their inserts are...quality arrow for sure.

I always used to fletch mine when I used aluminum arrows. Are the carbon arrows any different to fletch?

I adjusted my clamp to fit the smaller diameter shafts ,and use super glue gel to fletch with on carbon shafts .

I always thought that expensive glue smelled like superglue. Do you think there is a difference? Is it any harder to clean off if you have to make a replacement?

I never have had a fletching come off using super glue gel or similar adhesives designed for fletching .It is difficult to clean off the shafts , but that is the downside of using adhesive that holds up well without the fletchings stripping off . With the arrow wraps , I usually soak them in hot water to strip off the wraps and fletchings .
For stripping one fletching , I just use an arrow stripper . It messes up the wrap a little , but it keeps me from having to strip all 3 fletchings to replace just one .
