I still depend on my Grayling. Nothing it can't do. Good luck!

I've used a Grayling for a while now and it produces good results.  I have been wanting to try one of the BearPaw jigs too.

The thing I have found with the Grayling is that when you are using skinny shafts it's difficult to get the clamp to make good, solid contact with the area of the shaft where the feather is going.  I often have to push down on it with my free hand while holding the jig steady with my other.

now thts a feather twist for sure rob nice.
 i think ill like the grayling.
might have to get a burner. i thought i would just buy shield cut and use full length for fluflus but that was cool how the burner works.

Do a four fletch.

Quite a few guys here do 4-4".

Just an idea.

Just recently bought a grayling for my first fletcher. Love it!

Started with a straight clamp with 2d offset. Have since bought both the left and right clamp.

The performance and price are great.
