I re-fletched all my aluminum arrows and my husband's, but we both switched last year to carbons.
A couple arrows need to be re-fletched, and I have not had success in finding a step-by-step on how to do carbons.
I did not find anything on the Easton site. Any help is appreciated. Or is it just easier to buy new ones?

i bring mine in to get refletched....they charge like $2 per arrow but it's a lot cheaper than new arrows.

You know, FLHUNTRESS, I'm beginning to think it may be easier to do just that.  Thanks! |

I also take mine in ta have them re-fletched. I keep thinking I am going to start doing it myself but never seem to find the time to play around with them to learn.

Well, when I used aluminum arrows, it wasn't that hard, and I enjoyed doing it myself, and because of the amount of practicing I was doing, it was easier to re-fletch myself.
I tried a carbon, and I'm not doing something right, but I don't know what. When I scrape the vane off, it looks like I am taking part of the carbon arrow as well.
And I don't seem to be getting all the glue off.
So... I don't know at this point.
But thanks for the response!

When scraping of the old vane and glue,don't use a sharp knife.I have an old lockback Buck knife that you can't slice butter with that I use to scrape the arrow with.
