Fletching jig question
« on: March 23, 2012, 06:18:12 PM »
For the past few years, I have been using the Quickfletch Twisters or Quickspins and have been happy with everything except the price.  I would like to try jigging on my own but I am looking for one jig that can do Blazers - 4" vanes, straight and helical, and not as important but the ability to do 3 vanes and 4 vanes would be really nice as well.   Does such a device exist?

I use the Jojann fletcher and do 6 arrows at a time, 3 or 4 vanes. It's problematic with 2" vanes. 4" is fine.

Wanted the same thing.  Am returning the Bitzenburger I bought.  The helix on the Bitzenburger is minimal to none with Blazer vanes.  The Bohning will give you 3 degree helix that actually works fine.  I have that one, but bought the Bitz to try and do 4 helicals and was quite disappointed.  Wish someone would make a 90 degree helical for Blazers.

I just picked up a pair of Jo Jans, one has a straight clamp and one has a helical.  I've done some 3" fusions in helical and they seem to have a pretty good curve to them.  Adjusting the shaft back and forth seems like a bit tricky of a deal.  If I can get the fletch glue to work and my rest to function properly, it should be good.  Bought some Goat Tuff today so will try theat if my last ones don't work.

I have a helix as well, it works good, although it is made completely out of plastic.

I have a JoJan multi-fletch that works well for me; and I think it would fit your criteria nicely.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

Spend the little bit of extra money and get the bitzenburger. There is a reason pros ops choose this jig over others...
