I’m still researching recurves, recurves accessories, and proper recurve shooting sequences before I buy anything.

I’m currently looking at making arrows for recurves and it appears that a lot of recurve vanes use stick on adhesives vs the cement fletching glue I’m used to seeing on compound arrows.

Many people seem to swear on them but I can’t help but think that stick on fletchings have to come off randomly through out the year.

    I think that the idea is, that they may be easier to reapply. I don’t have actual experience with stick ons, but fletching cement seem to leave quite a bit of residue.

    It seem that fletchings come loose randomly anyway on recurves. Maybe the arrow rest is hard on the fletchings, maybe the arrow is shot through the clicker, I don’t really know. But I have a stash of my kids semi-defletched arrows waiting to get reflet chef, and I’m considering switching from cement, because it just seems easier.
