RE: What is the best fletching jig for a amateur
I am a long time user of both the Bitz and the JoJan. I have fletched hundreds of arrows with both, most of those with a JoJan. JoJan Multi-fletcher is economically priced and can be a time saver. The Bitz, however, is much more precise, particularly with certain arrow/vane or arrow/feather combinations. Its adjustment with the dials makes it easy to get the right fletch/shaft contact. Plus, whereas the JoJan just sets down on the shaft (with some slop, I might add), the Bitz holds everything positively with the magnets. I would say that either work fine for most applications, but the positive contact of the Bitz is, in my opinion, much better for a beginner.
As for the time factor, I can fletch plenty of arrows for me with a Bitz, especially with vanes. Feathers take more time, sure, but I just stick one feather on as I pass by and another as I pass by again later, no biggie.
