Seems to be a pain in the butt to do that. Being the feather is curved,it gives me trouble getting it in the clamp without lots of pushing and pulling etc..have I mentioned I hate fletching arrows?

Originally posted by iohkus: I've used a Bitz. for a lot of years, and until recently always had problems with getting the feathers to lay flush on the shaft - UNTILL I tried this suggestion from a fellow trad shooter. Flat sand the edge of the clamp so a straight edge WILL lay flat against it. After doing so, all the other adjustments that can be made are SO more meaningful and adequate.
