I just did up a few arrows with this Helix jig from Bohning. I haven't gotten a chance to shoot them yet but was wondering if anyone had any experience with how they fly? They definately put an awesome helical on there -- way more than I could ever get with a bitz. Thanks Guys
Also: I want to give a big thanks and props to Bohning Archery. About a year ago I bought a Bohning Blazer Jig (thinking it was the jig that was going to put helical on). Well I hadn't really been having success with it and went back to the Bitz. Well I was reading on AT how everyone loves the Helix jig. So I get on Bohnings site and see that the jig I have is different. So I call Bohning and talk to a tech guy and he informs me that I bought the standard Blazer jig -- which they discontinued after a few months because of design flaws. So the man proceeded to send me out a new helix clamp and instructional DVD free of charge to me. Thanks Bohning; it's company's like yours and people like you that make this sport fun.
Hey FSUBIBMAC, any chance you could post a pic. of one of your arrows. I'd like to see just how much helix we're talking. I never thought it would matter on a Blazer sized fletch but might reconsider after reading your experience. I know with my Bitz helical it's not worth using my helical clamp so I just stick to a straight one with a 4 degree offset. Thanks!
I couldn't get the pics to upload on here cause apparently they are too big. Not real sure how to resize them. I uploaded them to photobucket: Links below. -- first pic -- bitz w/ 2 offset on left --- blazer helix on right
your gunna love the helix jug. Just got one bout a month ago and my groups have certainly tightened up.
Only down side i can see at all that it is slightly louder than standard offsets. are. Maybe this is because im shooting them at 330fps. slower speeds may not notice much difference.
FSU- Thanks! Pretty cool. I'll have to pick one up.
BTW- Are you a 'Nole?

Im a buckeye that also happens to be a nole fan. I've had this screen name since I was in like 8th grade -- i loved the noles then -- grew up and just kept using the name cause i can remember it and also am a buckeye fan now --- needless to say I HATE Tim Tebow with a passion --- same goes for Urban Meyer
