[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 682310, member: 29115"] Hi Riflehunter, The information my god friend Buzzard Bait has given you is definitely sound advice and comes from years of experience on these crossbows. That said, I'm sure he had forgotten that the shearing of vanes was a major problem that we dealt with a little over a year ago when many people were reporting they would lose one or more vanes each time they were out target shooting. After much trial an error we discovered that the vane glue being used by PSE was insufficient to provide a tight enough bond to prevent the vanes from coming off. The solution was to refletch each arrow using a combination of a better glue and insure proper shaft preparation before beginning the fletching process. I'll post a follow up with a set of detailed instructions on how to properly perform the refletching steps. In short, I've shot easily over 3,000 arrows from my TAC15i and have not had a single vane come off. Buzzard Baits suggestions might help save you the refletching job if used on those arrows that have not lost any vanes yet. Regards, Jon Henry [/QUOTE]
