New fletching

[Utah Hunter]

How much re sighting in does it take after I re fletch my arrows? I am going to change fletchings on my arrows and was wondering how much work it usually takes to get your bow dialed back in. Do I need to paper tune it again, or just need to readjust sights.

You really shouldn't have to do anything.

Just make sure your fletching is equal distance apart from one another and they are good to go! For some reason, I had two or three of my arrows in the last 6 years, come out with two vanes real close together. I don't know how I did that because my jig has marks for each fletching. If you do what I did, then you will get some erratic flight patterns. :)

What fletching are you using now, and what are you changing to? I have seen the use of "quick spins" cause a small change in the left/right point of impact. Not significant. I have also seen the change in vanes cause speed changes of as much as 15 fps. This may also cause a very small up/down variance. I can't see any change being difficult or time comsuming to correct, if there is a change at all.

What was your fletching setup before and what did you change to? More drag thought longer or more angle will slow your arrow down but should increase accuracy. The reverse for going with less fletch or angle, but all you need is what is required by your complete bow's setup. And you will have to determine that through trail and error.

Mine is left wing helical with moderate angle as set on my bilitzenburger jigs. Its slightly slower, but has great stabilization, and with three yellow four inch fletches it looks like a tennis ball fling away. I have no issue seeing where my shot hits on game.
