Ordering arrows online
Does anyone know if customs charges duty on arrows bought from the US? Looking at ordering some Victory's. Also anyone recommend an online retailer? Thanks.

Local shops carry Victory like Jim Bows.

What do they charge for custom fletching?

Shop local when you can guys! There are a few places that will be able to help you out.

I try to support the local stores, once they're gone they're gone. Sometimes I'llput in a big order online for the little doodads that I cant get locally.

Jimbows or Accurate Archery will do you right. Excellent old fashioned service.

Does Jim Bows spine test and index arrows?
The BEST arrows I have ever got built were by Jerry at South Shore Archery in Florida. He spine indexes the arrows and they are perfectly made, numbered stickers included and boxed perfectly. |

I have always had good service at jimbows and I will vouch for them over Calgary archery any day. But I order my arrows online $54us for a dozen gold tip hunter xt. I just can’t justify paying the prices here in Canada.

I use Jerry at Southshore, cheaper, spine tested and all on the same jig!

Got all my VAP's from JimBows in Calgary. Really good guys. They even replaced my old green outserts with the new SHOK outserts for free for me on my old dozen. The VAP's already come spine aligned so no need.

Agree with the two guys above. Dynamic spine tuning is the best way, it’s the “proof in the pudding” way. Tim Gillingham put out a great video about nock tuning bare shafts to determine dynamic spine.

You could bareshaft/paper tune yourself (as per Tim Gillingham method), mark your arrows/nocks and then have someone fletch them for you. The arrows really need to be shot from the bow they are being used in to tune properly. LC |
Thanks for the info guys. So does that mean that the "flyer" I get when I shoot 1/2 doz may be out of tune? 5 group fine and one always lands right of my grouping.

There is a bunch of arrow deals posted on “hunt of the day”
|
Yes some good deals on hunt of the day but the darn Hunter XT are camo and I don’t need to pay extra for the camo so I will wait till the non camo go onsale.

I was looking for the GT's in a 300 spine, no luck. Axis in a 300 but I like using the FACT weights for fine tuning BH flight, so it is GT's for me.

Yup
