Default Refletching arrows

What does a bowshop charge on average to put net fletching on an arrow ? I know it depends on what type of fletching but just looking for ballpark numbers.

$1 $10 $1,015.23 ???????

You will be cheaper off buying a arrow fletcher and doing it yourself

$3-4 per arrow is the last I've seen when I was in one of the local shops.

Fletching Jig at Git-r-donearchery is about $30 bucks. I have 12 of them mounted on a board.I never use my Jo-Jan multi's anymore.
Feathers run about $30. per hundred, I'm not sure on vane prices anymore.

I do all my own fletching and have used a number of jigs over the years. I have now switched to Blazer vanes, and got a new jig for them. I am using the Arizona EZ Mini-fletcher and it has worked very well. Does all 3 vanes at once, puts on a nice helical and holds the vanes solidly against the shaft. I tried the old Arizona fletcher for 4 and 5" vanes and hated it - just didn't hold the vanes solidly along the shaft. They always lifted at the tips while in the jig. But, the mini for the short vanes seems to work great. I would definitely recommend it.

A friend and I started using the NAP Quick fletch and they have been awesome. Crested and fletched in under a minute. If I remember right they were $13 or $15 for 6 on ebay.
