    I'm looking to start fetching and wrapping my own arrows. What is the best fletcher and is it easy to do?

    I have a Bohning jig. it's pretty easy to use. I don't do wraps but fletching your own arrows is addictive.

    I have the Arizona EZ Fletch. It works really well. Here are some arrows I wrapped and fletched.

    Might be easier to let your dog do the fetching, while you do the fLetching :nana:

    I like the helical I can get with my Bitzenberger.

    I have an easy fletch but the most versatile for me is the bitzenburger fletching jig. it allows you to experiment with different fletching from straight to different degrees of offset and different degrees of helical. for those using left hand single bevel broadheads you can even get a left helical so your broadhead doesn't unscrew when it hits. I have a Arizona easy fletch from 15-20 years ago and it doesn't get any easier than that but for shear versatility and the ability to refine arrow performance, I'll stick with the bitzenburger.

    OK, why have I never heard of this Arizona ezfletch????? This thing looks like it could be much easier to use than the one I have.

    I use the Arizona Ez-fletch mini for Blazers. It puts a nice helical in the vanes and if I use Loc-Tite ultra control gel I can fletch a dozen pretty quickly.

    For wraps I use Onestringer. They are a great wrap plus they have excellent service.
