    I am planning on replacing the factory fletching on my new arrows. I was wondering if anybody has any input on what to use. I was thinking of going with quick fletch since I don't have a jig. Have thought about maybe goin FOB but I have seen with my own eyes how good they work. Any input helps.

    I use an aae quick fletch thing that does all three at once but I'm getting a bitzenburger soon. I use blazer vanes and some loctite glue. I also use wraps from one stringer because it makes it way easier if you need to refletch it again you can just peel the whole wrap off and not have to worry about stripping vanes and glue off of the shaft.

    I used Bohning blazer vanes and no complaints. If you don't have a jig, you can get a single arrow jib for about $50 off e-Bay. Otherwise you will have to pay a local archery shop to re-fletch them for you.

    FOBs are good but sometimes they can be quite noisy. If you don't have a jig the quick fletches are awesome if you can boil water. :)

    I really enjoy having the ability to re fletch my own arrows. But in camp it is nice to have quick fletch

    I shoot the Easton Injexion Deep Six FMJs as well and I use 2in Blazer vanes with a Right Helical. I am also experimenting with Fletching them without wraps and just the 2 in vanes. I used NAP QuikFlecth on my VAP V3 arrows and they worked really well.

    I use the Arizona EZ Fletch Mini jig. Its great. Its 3 times faster than my other jig, and Side by side with Factor bloodlines. the EZ fletch have tighter groupings

    I looked at that one it was a close call but I got the bohning jig. Might take a tad longer but I get to scrutinize each one

    I use Norway Zeon Neon 2.1 vanes and LOVE EM! I also use a arizona EZ fletch and so far it's done a great job. Blitz's are amazing and last a million years

    I've had the bohning helix tower jig for right helical Blazers for a few years now, done dozens of arrows, many times. First impression was that it was cheaply built but honestly I've never had an issue with it and it works well.
