RE: Bohning jig
NJ/PA
Like you, I've been thinking of buying a jig for several seasons now. You may have seen my blazers/bitz post from last night and today if you've been searching the subject, and I just thought I would pass this on. After some of the advice I received from my post and from reading other recent fletching related posts, I bought a bitzenburger jig at bass pro shops this morning, and was fletching arrows within45 minutes of getting it out of the box. It's the only jig I've owned, so I can't really compare to the bohning jig, but I can tell you that it's obviously a solid, well made piece of equipment that will easily last longer than I will be able to draw a bow. It's a little pricey....but everyone else says it's well worth it, and already I'd have to agree.
As a good buddy of mine who firmly believes in buying high quality gear says....."why buy it twice?".
Good luck!
