Since I leave Friday. But...

Long story short, my arrows all needed to be re-fletched. I tore some, all others were super bent, all in my last day of shooting. Got them re fletched, and now they "wobble" in flight.

Shaw set up my bow and it was great. No problems. New fletchings on my arrows, and things are going to crap. What would cause this and how do I fix it? I'm guessing it's a thing issue but don't understand why new fletchings would cause such an issue

Make sure you're cock vane (odd color) is straight up. Did they refletch with the same type/brand vane? Are the new vanes more offset (helical) than the old ones?

They were turned slightly, I'll go shoot and see if that helps.

Yeah, same brand and same amount of offset

Are they different colors than the old ones? Lot of times it will look like its wobbling when the fletching spins the odd color.

Yeah new colors, but I had nufletch igniters in them and it was pretty obvious they were wobbling. I did what Shaw said and it seems to have fixed it. Lunch break over, I'll shoot more this afternoon and see.

My broad heads were flying right with my field points, hopefully that hasn't changed but I'll find out later I guess

Were you shooting the nufletch igniters before you had the arrows redone? My arrows flew great until I added the new fletches and the Nocturnals. I got rid of both in kept my Straight flight they didn't agree with my arrows with my 61 lb bow. I still shoot both with the 71 lb

Nope, shot the ignitors before.

The arrows were turned so the fletchings were going through the bottom (stiffer) part of the WB. Turning them fixed it. Glad it was something simple.
