JoJan, carbon ICS bowhunters, no problems.

Nice jigs for the money just tweek the thing and they will lay tight.

Anyone got the Bohning "Pro-Class" fletch jig?
I have one coming in the mail (long story... I ended up buying all 3 clamps from 3 different sellers by the time it was said and done).

My wife is gonna kill me when she sees our visa bill. I still haven't bought a bow and spent a lot on arrows & accessories for me & the kids. (I'm using a compound bow I built form a kit 30 yrs ago and an old 28 lb fiberglass Paul Bunyan I have had since I was about 8 yrs old). My kids bought some cheap Bear bows - The Goblin and the Scout bought at Cabela's).

Anyway, I have a lot of accessories, including the jig and vanes & feathers - almost all are still in shipping. Once the jig gets here I may be posting questions.

I bought my first Bitzenburger in 1973.  It is still doing the job, although I did have to take it apart and oil the nock index last year.

I have the Bohning Pro-Class jig. It seems to work pretty well.

Thanks DW     :clapper:

I bought the Bohning one because it was a good price... It was a left helical - I really wanted right helical, but the price was so good I figured I could make do with it.
When I got it and found out that it was only the clamp (the picture was the jig & clamp and title said "jig")

The seller apologized and refunded my money - told me to keep the clamp. He also pulled the auction (it was a multiple quantity)

So I ordered the jig and a right hand clamp... then realized I need a straight clamp to repair my kids arrows when they eventually get worn.

So I'd say I'm committed to the Bohning Pro-Clas, for better or for worse at this point.

I've had the Bitz, JoJan, and BPE.  Now I have about 30 Bitz.
