thats a nice jig, whoever ends up with that one should be very pleased. aside from the bitz we see many of the jigs today being made from plastics and not really very tight tolerances, the saying holds true" they dont make em like they used too".

almost all the 'cheap' fletchers are made from polycarbonate - they are VERY accurate and won't change dimensions like cheap plastic will. nor will they rust. :D

For full length feathers I use Joe Skipp you can look him up in the directory.You can use them for Flu's and get a burner or chopper and cut your own design.And I use a red plastic Boning jig for all my fletching.

Is there a "How to" for just fletching and burning? I see there is one here for splicing fletches that is good.

Another vote for the Bearpaw jig. I have a six-unit fletching tool now, since I make arrows for other archers too. You can fletch 3,4 or six feathers in a blaze, very easy to adjust. helical or straight clamps available.
Very easy to use and high quality too, made of a combination of metal and plastic.
I use it for aone year now I did much fletching with it and can highley recommend it!

I have only used my Bitzenberger jig and Bohning fletch tape. I have to say it works pretty well. If clumbsy old me can fletch an arrow, anybody should be able to with this combination.

I like the BearPaw also...does everything the others do and is easier and quicker to change from 3,4 or 6 fletching. Just push the switch up or down.
