    I went ahead and bought the bohning tower, but I bought the model that has all three heads so I have an option to use different vanes later down the road. This jig is awesome and extremely easy to use. I am blown away by how easy it was to setup and get fletching. Here is 3 that I done last night in like 5 mins. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fool proof easy way to fletch! [​IMG]

    Those look nice! I love my tower jig for speed! I also recommend using the G5 blu glue - fletchings will not come off.

    Looks great. I'm just getting back into bow hunting, and I want to build my own arrows again. I see the triple tower does straight, 1 degree offset or 3 degree helical. Why are there three different ways to fletch?

    Still in love with it. I've done about 4 dozen through it without a single problem. [​IMG]

    From what I've heard both are good for blazers. I chose this one because of the extra arms so I can also do straight and offset vanes up to 4 "

    Nice! I have one as well. Love it!! I use either Loctite Gel or Bohning Gel....works very well. I take a Q Tip and wipe the excess glue from it and it makes it nice and clean.
