That's because the nu fletch add entirely too much weight to the back of an arrow. The same principal as to why the heavier lighted nocks don't shoot as well as a conventional nocks.

An arrow, especially with a broadhead, needs more weight on the front end than the back end to fly correctly and consistently and also to penetrate properly.

Read up on FOC (front of center) and you'll see why you are having problems with the nu fletch.

IMO- if I didn't fletch my own arrows then I'd pay someone else to do it or simply buy new fletched arrow before I would shoot nu fletch.


You're only as good as your worst shot-

I have no experience with the fletching system but did order lighted nocks and a 3 pack of the fletching systems to try and after 2 phone calls and a month later I finally got the lighted nocks but no fletching system. Customer service is a bit lacking.

And on top of that the lighted nocks will rattle if you don't get them in just right. May end up going back to nockturnal. Haven't shot a deer with one yet so I'm reserving judgement.

You can buy additional weights to go in the shaft of most all manufacturers to get your foc back under control all though your going to add lots more weight to your arrow.A benefit on the penetration end but not on the speed/trajectory.

You'll be pleased with them

It may take a little extra effort to get the tune right but when you do get it right don't shoot for group's...they will stack on top of each other. I was sold on that front of center theory too and very skeptical, but they work well. And once they are tuned correctly the added weight in the back acts like a hammer driving a nail! The penetration is great...
Heavier FOC is just easier to tune.
