[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5810511, member: 20583"] Seems heavy to me too. I understand the recent fad for heavy arrows but IMO it's completely unnecessary and I'd argue isn't worth the sacrifice of trajectory. But that's a different topic and not what you're asking. The EZ fletch is pretty darn good. The helical it puts makes adhesion difficult so be sure to prime the vanes before using. Bohning brand vanes come pre primed but others do not. Nocks matter. You don't want one that pinches your string too tight and you don't want one so wide that your serving closes down on it at full draw. Either of those will cause weird erratic inaccuracies. The nock should fit just well enough on the string that it can't fall off, and the arrow shouldn't lift off the rest as you draw. Not really critical with field points but can drive you crazy with broad heads. Also try nock tuning. Turn the nock to try it on each vane and you'll often find the arrow is more accurate in one position than the others. Again not as noticeable with field points but can be very obvious with broad heads. That's about all I got. Nothing secret or earth shattering but helpful if you weren't previously aware. Arrows are fun to assemble and gives you freedom of experimentation. Oh and if you plan to experiment, use hot glue for your inserts. You can't remove them to try something else if they're epoxied.
