Fletching Jig? Which one?
« on: February 13, 2011, 08:20:00 PM »
Folks,

  Just wondering what you guys use to fletch your arrows with? I see many models/manufacturers out there but uncertain what is high quality and suited to feathers. Please guide the green horn!

Bitzenburger hands down.

The Bitzenburger is definitely a great jig, but the Bearpaw one from Kustom King also works very well & is a bit cheaper. Can't go wrong with either in my opinion.

I posted the same question a few weeks ago, I opted for the bohning jig, because of price. I have fletched about 3 dozen arrows with it so far and no complaints.

No. 1 = Bitzenburger.  The heavy magnet, quality of the jig, and adjustibility of the clamp makes it easy to fletch a light helical to a tight helical.
The work praises the man.

One more vote for a Bitz. They work perfectly and are made to last for many years.

trust me, ya don't need a bitz.  most any single vane polycarb fletcher will more than get the job done for $30 or less.     :readit:  

and if it matters, which it shouldn't, i've been building arras since the mid 50's and have owned at least 5 bitz jigs.     "[dntthnk]"

Thanks for all the input! Seems bitz wins this vote by a fair amount. I'll start researching a source for one and hopefully be in business within the next week or so.
