Gonna start building my own arrows. What is a good fletching jig to get that is easy to use for someone who has never done it before? I plan on putting either Blazer vanes or the NAP Twister vanes on at either a 2 or 3 degree right helical, whichever shoots best. Thanks again guys.
I only have experience with the EZ fletch but definitely like it. I believe there is one for max helical on 2 inch vanes like blazers
Depends. If you're not looking to do too volume or much besides straight or offset, there are plenty to choose from. Helical knocks a few out of the running. If you want one of the (IMHO) best, buy the bitzenburger. When I sit down to fletch I'm banging out a heap (mine & my boys) and usually a dozen or two. The Jojan meets my needs.
If you want to put a meaning helical on blazers your best option is the mini fletch. I use my bitzenburger for everything else.
Just bought the Arizona EZ Fletch mini. Anyone ever used this model before? What is a good glue that y'all like to use? Would prefer a clear drying one.
I go to walmart and get the loctite super glue professional. I have yet to have any issues whatsoever.
As far as a fletching jig, I have the bohning right helical and the blitz. The blitz is much cleaner but the bohning gets the job done. If you want it, PM me, I'll make you a deal on it and explain it's use in more detail.
I have 2 (soon to be 3) of the Arizona EZ Fletch jigs. They are really easy to use if you just read the directions before starting. I also have a 6 arrow Jo-Jan. They both work well, I prefer the EZ just because it is so simple to use, and I can throw it in my bag for a trip in case I need it. I use Gorilla gel type super glue from the HD. Works great, and goes a long way. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure - Mark Twain
