The shafts I have are 49.95 a dozen.  I would have to check at home to see what colors I have if you were interested.

That Bitz is a great fletching jig. The clamp for the Bitz will say what wing it's for. It will have Right or Left...stamped on it in the front end.

If your clamp is Right wing I have some feathers I can give you. I shoot 4",  4-Fletch feathers, usually Shield-cut. I have about 3 dozen bright blue-barred 4" shields you can have. One bonus to 4-Fletch is you can use all the same color feathers and you can nock it either way.

That Bitz does a real fine job on 4-Fletch too. I can throw in some 4" hot pink shields too if you will use them.

I can send some wraps too, they make re-fletching easy and add to visibility. You only need a couple arrows to practice with anyway and you can buy some time to get set-up better.

One way you might be able to save a little money on fletching (if you have time) is as follows:  Lots of turkeys in Iowa.  If you, family, or friends hunt turkeys, save the primary wing feathers (and secondaries I am told), spend about $30 on a feather chopper with the pattern and length of your choice, and cut your own feathers. Save right and left wing primaries.  You can set up for both, or trade the ones you don't want for the ones you use.

I bought left and right wing choppers to use the right and left wing primaires I have collected.  I get about 10 sets of wings a year from family.

I started doing that and have saved a small fortune on fletching.  I dye my feathers with RIT dye.  Lots of good info on internet on how to cut, grind, and dye turkey feathers.  Goose primaries will work as well, in case you have access to wings of wild or domestic geese.
