RE: Fletching arrows
Your first post? Welcome to the site.
I'll give you several reasons to learn to fletch your own. Once your jig is set you can jsut replace one vane if necessary because the angle of the clamp is set where you want it. You can pick the colors you like and mix or match. You can do it at your leisure not having to wait till the shop can get to them.
The initial outlay can be a little steep depending on what jig you choose. I recommend the Bitzenberger, as it is the best and most verstile. You can use the same jig for straight, straight offset, nad right or left helical depending on what clamps you buy. And there is no way to wear one out. I've been using mine for over 30 years.
Lookm around and you may get lucky and find a used one, but don't hold your breath. People that get them seem to keep them forever.
One hint, being as you are using a Whisker Bisquit. After you fletch your arrows put a little dab on both ends of the fletch (called spot gluing). This will help keep the end from lifting off the arrow while passing through the rest.
