How do you fletch your BLAZERS?

squeegee · 10-26-2006, 09:01 AM

I have been fletching my Beman ICS 340 carbons with 4" Arizona Archery Speed Flyte Vanes (from Cabelas), which are recommended for the Wisker Bisquit and they work through the "Bisquit" very good. I have ordered a dozen new shafts and have decided to fletch them with 2" Blazers, (highly recommended by most people on this site)
My QUESTION is how high or low do fletch them on the shaft in a Bliztenburger (or any other jig)? Is there a line on the "Blitzes" clamp that someone uses? Do you center them in the clamp? Or "as far back on the shaft" still hold true?

Thanks in advance,
Squeegee

They will give your arrowsthe best stability by doing this.

I put them as far back as they will go in my Jo-Jan clamps.

Thanks for pulling that up Mike. I appreciate it.

If you don't care to follow the link, 3/4" from the end of the shaft.

On the Bitz clamp, it is the third line (aka, the second short line from the bottom of the clamp)

Hope this helps,

I do mine on the third line as well and they work very well.

well that depends on what kind of nocks you are using a longer or shorter nock will change the length so it is best ti put a mark on the first arrow you are going to fletch, place it in the jig with fletch in clamp place the clamp on the jig to make sure every thing is lineing upthis way you will be sure to have your new fletching where you want them on the arrow.
Hope this helps
