Bohning Fletching Jig

[Challynger]

Has anyone tried Bohning's fletching jig?Please don't just respond telling me to buy a Bitzenburger or Jo-Jan if you don't know anything about the Bohning.

I have one along with two martins. They are pretty much identical to the bohing and work fine with no complaints at all. The only advantage to the bohning over the martin is that you can get a crossbow adapter for the absence of a nock. I hunt and do not shoot competitively and I have fletched hundreds of shafts and have yet to desire a better jig.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

I have both the Bitz and the new red Bohning. I picked up the Bohning when I was out of town and needed a jig. It was the cheapest one that Bass Pro had.

It's basically a plastic copy of the Bitz. It works well as the Bitz, but is a little more difficult to set up. Also, the magnet that holds the clamp doesn't seem quite as strong as the one on the Bitz. I wouldn't get one for a shop or someone who fletches a lot of arrows. I think that the Bitz will be more durable. However, if you only fletch a few dozen arrows a year and don't mind the more difficult setup, it's a good value.

The Bohning is solid & accurate when you twist over to the next vane. It's even a little better than the Bitz. I don't know if this is because it is new or if it will wear and become sloppy. I haven't had it that long.

The Bohningthat I have isthe new red jig at about $30 that they brought out recently.I've also seen a gray "Pro" jig that is also plastic and almost as expensive as the Bitz. I would definitely buy the Bitz beforethe gray one.
