Bitzenburger Jig

Sounds about right sadly. Nocks and Fletchings aren't cheap. At least not the better ones anyway. You could have ordered them from Lancaster Archery and they would have cut them to size for you and included Nocks and Deep 6 inserts. 183.96 a dozen. BTW, you will have a bit of a time finding broadheads to match that extremely small diameter (deep 6). Slick Trick has them in 100 grain and it is very hard to beat the performance of Tricks. Especially against the few that make that small diameter BH.

well guess Ill see soon ordered a dozen 4mm FMJ's. Dunno is this sounds right, but part of the reason Im gonna start doing these myself is shop charged me $150.00 for the dozen arrows and another $150.00 to fletch, nock and add inserts. So they should have a carbon core and alum. skirt.
Also, FWIW, if you don't wanna use Deep 6 broadheads, you can use outserts or half-out inserts and standard shank broadheads. Outserts are stronger, but they do add some weight to the front of your arrow. That said, I haven't had too many problems with half-outs, in as much as I have used them.

I"m guessing you ordered the bitzenburger fletching jig with the Zenith Upgrade Kit already installed. In this case there is no factory nock receiver included.
