I'm hardly an expert (just fletched up my first batch), but my Jo Jan mono was very simple to use.


Good luck,
Ben

I have a friend that uses the Arizona, and it does the job. Personally, I use the Jo-Jan

When it comes to ketchup, there's Heinz; when it comes to mustard, there's Grey Poupon; and when it comes to fletchers, there's Bitzenburger!

For myself it's just easier to apply the tape or glue with a clamp style jig, but that's just my personal preference.  I also prefer jigs that can fletch a variety of stlyes like three or four fletch and at different degrees or offset. As for brands nothing but the bitz for me.

I have a Grayling that was cheap and it works very well for me.

I have used the Arizona for years.  I also tried one of the expensive model fletchers but ended up selling it because I couldn't get it adjusted correctly.  One drawback with the Arizon versus the single feather fletchers is that it is more difficult to replace individual feathers that have been torn off.

I saw a new one on Easton Bowhunting with Fred Eicher yesterday. It is like the Arizona in that it does all three fletches at once. It is made by Bohning. Looked pretty good ?

I have been using a Grayling for 4 years now,without any problems. I think it was around $30.00,and it works great.

You don't always get more when you pay more, but in my opinion (after trying several different fletchers) you do get what you pay for with a Bitzenburger.  Others will work--my second choices would be the BPE, then Jo-Jan--but the Bitz is the best.

I started with a Bitz; lost it in one of my many moves while in the service. Jo-Jan works but I like the percision an adjustability the Bitz gives you, I now have 6 Bitz's.
