what jig?
« on: September 08, 2009, 06:40:00 PM »
I was looking at some pics. of ya'lls arrows & noticed that some of the fletchings have a lot of twist ( degree ) to them. What fletching jig are you using to get that much twist?

I  also use a Bitz, but I don't knnow that my arrows are the ones with lots of helical in them.  I've also used the JoJan and didn't notice much difference in the degree of helical between the two.  I adjust my jig so the fletching lays properly on the shaft and take the helical that comes with it.  It has always been plenty.

I believe, but can't remeber where I read it, the JoJan and Bitz both have a 5 degree twist with a five nch feather.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
