Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a vane with respect to a shaft of an arrow and/or a bolt. A fletching system includes a sleeve and at least one vane, preferably a plurality of vanes, extending away from the sleeve. In a mounted position of the sleeve with respect to an arrow shaft, the sleeve is removably secured with respect to the arrow shaft. In some embodiments, a stop extends from the sleeve and interferes and/or makes frictional contact with the arrow shaft to prevent movement of the sleeve with respect to the arrow shaft. In other embodiments, an adhesive structure, such as an adhesive tape, contacts the sleeve and the arrow shaft to prevent movement of the sleeve with respect to the arrow shaft.
