Fletching jigs

[BUCKY]

Thanks Larry but I just bought the Uni Fletcher.

I am having a problem with a jojan single.  I can not, no matter how i move my arrows, get the jig to contact my arrow in the middle.  I have adjusted the nock slot all the way both ways, and still can't get it to work.  

My friend actually gave me the jig because of the same problem.  

If it matters, I am shooting Ted Nugent goldtip 5575 blems.

JoJan.  The best!!!!

I use both Bitz and JoJan multi. And once setup they both work fine. I think the biggest problem people are having with jigs is they are trying to get to much helical and that is what is causing poor feather contact. Just set the jig to make good contact with the feather and the shaft and the clamp will set enough helical.

I am not trying to get any specific helical.  I am just trying to get good contact the full length of the jig.  I can get good contact on the front and the back, but i can't get any contact with the middle of the jig.  Are these jigs specifically designed for larger diameter shafts?  Or should it work no matter what?

I have a Bitz and a BPE.  I like the Bitz the best, but if I was recommending for a beginner I'd go with a Jo jan or a bohning.  No need to spend $90 to get started.

Try leaving about a 1/16 in clearance between feather and clamp before putting the clamp on jig. I do this by putting feather in clamp and run my thumbnail between feather and clamp then gently slide clamp in place until you get full contact on the shaft. Hope this helps.
