I've read several other threads here about fletching jigs, but I want to get clear opinions about a few things before I order. Here is my situation and requirements for a fletching jig. First, I don't need or want one that will do more than one arrow. I don't have the space for it and I don't fletch that many arrows. I currently have a Whisker Biscuit on my bow, but am going to a Muzzy Zero Effect when the one I've ordered for my roller guard bow finally makes it to me. At that time, I want to refletch my arrows (Beman 340 ICS Hunters) as the WB has worn the fletching a bit, not to mention made it ugly. Since I've been using the WB, I've stayed with the straight (2* offset), but I want to be able to use helical once I get the MZE. If it turns out that the helical fletching doesn't shoot well for me, or I just don't like it for some reason, I want the jig to be able to fletch straight offsets, too. I use vanes now, but I may want to try feathers in the future. I want my jig to make it as easy as possible for me to get very precise and consistent placement of the vanes/feathers no matter, as well as positioning the vanes consistently relative to the nock position.
Ok, after saying all that, here's my question. What should I get if I want the best (i.e.- most precise and easiest) single-arrow fletching jig, and what extra items should I get with it? Please give brand and model for jig and each extra item I should buy (extra clamps, fletch stripping tool, which vanes, glue, etc.). This is a wish list and will probably be ordered within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance!
Best and Easiest Single-Arrow Fletcher?
