    I have never used the fletching jig that you listed. I have used the Bitzenburger in the past. A very good fletching jig. For the last few years, I have been using the Quickfletch system by New Archery Products. If you can boil water, you can fletch your own arrows. Hope this helps.

    The work well with some qualifications. The link you have is for the full size version, while it works there are better jigs for longer vanes, especially with offsets and helicals .
    However if you going to use Blazers or similar short high profile vanes the the EZ Fletch MINI is the tool to use. You can get a get 3' degree helical on the blazer style vanes using the mini... Better then most jigs.

    So in short you need to decide what size style vanes you plan on using before making the purchase.

    I had one years ago and I didn't like it that well. All I use now is the heat shrink type fletching, best thing since sliced bread. If want a multi-type fletcher I would go with the JoJan multi fletcher. I also had one of those and really liked it.

    I have been using the mini for several years and love it. It puts excellent helical on Blazers and Razor feathers also. I also have a Jo-Jan but only use it when I am fetching vanes or feathers that are too long for the AZ Ez fletch mini.

    The regular EZ fletch, I tried probably 10 years ago. Did not like it, it was sloppy. Bought a bitzenberger and used it for years then sold it when quickfletch came out.

    Now I am back to fletching my own again and now use the EZ fletch mini and like it. It puts a great helical on short vanes.

    I use the mini. It works really well for me. I've used some of the shrink fletch in the past, and they work great but are usually a straight or offset helical. The EZ fletch mini puts a nice helical on and I think it works better for fixed blade heads.
    I also, like to use the G5 blue glue. It's the best fletching glue I've used.

    I have used the mini version for a few years now and it works really well. I use Loctite Ultra Control Gel and it works really well with bare shafts and arrow wraps.

    I have the Mini and the Bitz. For short vanes the Mini hands down. The Bitz is great for longer vanes but its slower. If you use an EZ Fletch then have some Acetone to get the glue off the plastic. It keeps it clean and working like a champ.
