Looks like you've got the hang of it! ...but we've got to get you into some new wood shafts. That stuff there is cold to the touch.  ;)
   One suggestion, from looking at the end in the pic the fletching is acting like a short flu flu and not a helical fletch. You don't have to put in that much twist to get the arrow to spin. It probably fly well because of the drag but it will fly better with better air flow.

sounds good the feathers were naturally twisting like that so i left it all i can say is that it flys faster and straighter then the others that have the plastic fletchets.
