You must be lonely at work today? A good video would be nice to have. Tip I was given yesterday was to tip the leading and trailing edge of the vane with a small dot of glue. Especially if you use a WB.

I'd like to see him shoot the FOB. I've seen that thing but not used on a bow. I think the guy took the spindle off of something and slid it on the end.

I have two monitors at work, one for Huntingnet.com and the other for my drafting program.

Videos would be good but it is very easy to do. I have just started myself and I would invest in the Bitzenburger if I were just starting. Well made and will last forever. The initial setup I would get would be the right helical but it would pay to get the other jigs eventually if you like to experiment. I would suggest getting your jig of choice, a hundred pack of the vanes of choice (they are very cheap), and get started. You will also want to get some denatured alchohol and acetone, a green scrubbing pad, a fairly sharp knife (to remove old vanes), glue (very important ) and maybe some very fine grit sandpaper.

As far as tipping the leading and trailing edge I have just tipped the leading edge when using the whisker biscuit but then I found a way I like better and it seems as effective although I no longer use the biscuit. I start the glue bead at the front of the vane. There always seems to be a tiny bit more glue at the start of the bead and by starting at the front of the vane you would get a little extra there where it would be needed most.

That "other guy" is Chance Beaubouef, two time Vega Champion (2004 & 2007) as well as many other tournements. Easily in the top 5 tournement archers of the last decade.

However, I agree with you about the gateway video. It's much better than the Bohning video and a couple of others that focus mainly on traditional wood arrows.
