Arrow fletching 101

Meomako · 05-19-2003, 07:46 PM

I have at least a dozen arrows that need refletching and am thinking about doing them myself. To any of you Arizona E-Z fletching jig users, which one should I order to fletch carbon arrows like Gold Tip XT' s or Beman Hunters, the size on both seem to be close to the same. I' m planning on using Flex Fletch fletching and Goat Tuff adhesive; what are your opinions on these products?
Thanks [:-]

I' ve got two of the Arizona tools, one straight and one with an offset. While either of these tools can work for you in the field I think that you would probably get better results and more satisfaction with a six arrow Jo-Jan. The Arizona tools that I have don' t hold the feather as precisely as those big clamps on the Jo-Jan.

Definatly go with the jo-jan. The arizona is not as precise, like arrroman said. The mulitifletcher was one of the best investments i made. Bitz also has a good jig.

The arizona flatcher is not as precise and has more limitations.

No matter what you use, always make sure that you put a drop of glue at the front and the back of the vane or feather.....Improves durabilty immensely.....
