fletching jig with the most helical
« on: April 04, 2013, 08:05:00 PM »
My Jo-Jan does a nice job, but I see other arrows that have what seems like a lot more helical to them.

Sometimes a higher/longer feather might make it seem that way... My Jo-Jan is all this fella needs...

On big old woodies they all do a great job. On skinny little carbons they all leave a lot to be desired. Having said that...gimme a Bitz every time.

I think the diameter of the shaft makes some look like it has more then a skinier shaft and the height of the feather.I fletch with a Bitz and a Jo Jan.They put all the helical I ever needed.I just make sure the quill has the best contact with the shaft.

Do you file the area that lays on the arrow? The inside of the clamp? Never thought about that. Thanks Sergio.

Walt, those 2219's you sent me is what got me thinking.  They have a lot more tilt then any of my arrows.

Ya all I used was that BPE, I don't know what degree its set at but I can let you know later when I get home. Like I said I can adjust it for how much I want.

I have no problem with my JoJan on Easton Axis or 23/64 woods. My JoJan is about 30 years old. Maybe the newer ones are made different.

I've been very happy with my jojan i've had it for about 8 years now.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
