    I am looking at learning how to fletch my own arrows and am in the market for a fletching jig. I have heard great things about the Bitzenberger Fletching Jig but at $90 is it worth it? Would I be better suited to get a cheaper one to start with such as the AAE Fletch III Fletching Jig? What do you all think? Anyone have any experiences with either one of these jigs? I would like to play with all sorts of fletching such as 4 fletch and stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Hunter

    My Bitz has been serving me well for 30+ years. Get the Zenith upgrade right away. If you call him, he will guide you to what you need & teach you a lot.

    Yep Bitz is a good-unn!! If you plan to use Blazer vanes and only them you may want to look into the Bohning ones.

    I have a Bohning tower and it is perfect for putting a helical on the blazers. I can do them straight or degrees.

    Buy the Bitz! It's what I use, and will use for possibly the rest of my life.
