Off-Season Preparation | Fixing Old Arrows
Prime is powered by Stone Road Media
If your like us, you go through arrows; a lot of arrows. When you got that two dozen last summer, you didn’t think you’d be down to three already. Where did they all go? Thinking back, there was that ground hog that ran right out in front of your target during target practice. You took advantage of the situation but buried an arrow in the grass, never to be found. You had a few sodas with the guys and decided to see how far you could hit the target from. There went two more. The season finally rolled around and somehow the rest of your arrows either broke, got their fletching mangled, or flat out disappeared. Now you’ve got a bone yard of old arrows lying next to you bow case taking up space.
Late winter is perfect time to salvage these old arrows. If the integrity of the arrow shaft has been compromised, don’t bother with it. They will never fly straight and can be dangerous. However, the old arrows with mangled fletching or broken nocks can be made good as new with a little TLC. Inventory the number of arrows that need fletching replaced and how many need new knock, and head down to your local archery shop to stock up. If you’ve never tried it, fletching your own arrows can be fun and rewarding. Our G-Lock Blue-Glu makes it a breeze.
