Fletching of Arrows
Hi everyone, the equipment will be coming this Thursday. Zijie will be helping us to receive the equipment and issuing it out. Not all the items are here, for example the limbs and some fletches.
I apologies for the late delivery of the equipment. The supplier didn't deliver as promised.
Below are some of the methods to fix up your new arrow. Know them by the back of your hand.
IMPORTANT : Those who have not paid, please do so to HuiFang; if not you cannot take your equipment on Thursday.We are very strict on it .
How to fix your nock and point on your new arrow.
Tools needed:
1. Tighten the nock carefully at the rear end of the shaft by insert them right to the bottom. Use glue for the ones with rear cone. With the insert nocks you don't have to use glue at all.
2. Heat up the point to be able to spread the melting glue on top of it (below).
3. Heat also up the mouth section of your shaft in order to make the aluminum expand. Then push and rotate the point into the shaft.
How to fletch your arrows?
Tools needed:
1. The wanes are attached to the shaft with the help of a special fletching device. Do remember to clean your shafts with alcohol before fletching.
2. Spread an even strip of glue on the slot. Not excessively!
3. Press the clamp tight and evenly to the shaft edge and let it dry long enough before repeating the process on all the arrows.
