been fletching arrows since the mid 50's. have had most every fletcher out there, including a half dozen bitz's for tandem 6 arrow-at-a-time glue fletching. these dayze, any cheap polycarb fletcher is more than competent to get the job more than done well. and definitely tape not glue! i see no need for spending that kinda big loot on a bitz, but to each their own.

The only one that I have ever used is a Bitz. Still going strong. I did have one at one time though that fletched all 3 at one time. It was made of plastic and didn't work well at all. I got rid of it quick.

I have four bitz jigs and use a 6 way JoJan. Once it's adjusted the way you want it you can fly though arrows.

From a rookie fletcher, Blitz and tape, as has been said.
You really don't need more than one if you use tape. Your hands and fingers can only do so much at once. If you glue, maybe 3-6 would suit an arrow maker.

My first was a Bohning I got at Cabelas for $25 on sale. Then I got Bitz used. I like the Bitz, but also still use the Bohning. I have them set up the same and honestly can't tell which arrow was fletched in which jig. I do like the Bitz better, but I don't know if I would pay for a new one for my needs.

I've been using a Jo-Jan for the last 10 years. It's cheap and well built. I have the left, right, and straight clamp, and can do about anything with it I'll ever need to.
I do want to try a Bitz though...
