    This is my first time to fletch. I am trying to create a 1.5 to 2° offset. I can't find a video that shows how to do this. Do you adjust the top and bottom knobs to the right ,Or just one of the two? Also, how do you measure the degree offset. is it just a guesstimate?

    How many clicks generally speaking am I looking to turn ? (Estimate ). So I know I'm in the ballpark.
    Thanks

    I turn the top and bottom in different directions and put as much helical as I can get.

    My understanding is for a 2" vane is a 1/16
    2.5 vane = 3/16
    You can split the difference on top & bottom. Top to the right of center & bottom to the left of center. Make sure vane has good contact to arrow before you put glue on

    my math comes out the same. 1/16 inch offset is 2 degrees and 1/10 inch offset is 3 degrees for a two inch feather or vane.
