Fletching arrows

[Chain2]

I guess I am into this all the way. I need to start repairing and re-fletching arrows. What do I need to buy?? I was going to buy a Bitzenberger left helical and left wing feathers. I have glue form my compound days but my fletching jig was a straight cheapy and it is worn out. Thanks Guys

Blitz is the best and as long as the feathers that are on your shafts are LW(if replacing one at a time) then a LH is the clamp.And fletchtite platinum is the glue.

Below is simple, expedient and works great for me:

BPE Pro Fletcher……(LW Model).…..……………………~$53.99
Fletch-Tite Platinum……(Feather Glue)…….…………~.$05.25
Bohning Feather Fletch Tape………………………………~08.25
91% Isopropyl Alcohol
Utility Knife
Scissors


Note: My feathers are already worn out prior to testing the longevity of the tape.

I also like BPE.

Well It kinda depends on if there carbon or wood. I'm redoing a dozen carbons right now. Pretty simple setup. I have a Bohning fletching jig right wing. Right wing feathers is what my local archery shop carries. fletch tight platinum. A good sharp pocket knife and time. Make sure you get all the old glue off and then clean the shafts with denatured alcohol. Hoped this helps. Defiantly use a right or left wing jig. Really helps with accuracy.

I use multiple bitzs for carbon, aluminum and wood. I use Duco for wood super glue for carbon and aluminum...

BPE is a great fletcher, I have used the same one for close to 20 years

If I was just starting out, I think I would go right wing.  For some reason, my right wing Bitz is easier to use than my left wing at least for me.

I've had a Bitzenburger since 1969. All I've ever used. Bohning glue, you'll be fine.

I Swear and Stand by Saunders NPV Fletching Cement!! I have used it on  ALL  the various types of Shafts, and have  YET  to Lose a Feather due to Bad Adhesion!! Even on Pass-Throughs!! Tell ya what, If you Buy it and dont like it, I will buy it back from ya!! Hows That for Confidence??    
  The Bitz is  BEST  Best on the Planet as well, and Your Grandchildrens' Grandchildren will be fletching Arrows with it!! You are off to a Fine and Fulfilling Hobby of Building Your Own Arrows!!      Congrats and Have Fun!!

to get the old glue off, nothing beats one of those stainless steel pot scrubers about four maybe six swipes with that a light rub with 400 grit sand paper clean it off with rubbing alcohol and you're good to go.
