you can get by with just a fletching jig, fletching cement and fletching if all you want to do is fletch your own shafts. if you want to cut them to length a saw, high speed for carbon ferrel tight for aluminum or an epoxy for carbon to put your inserts in and that about does it. i use a jo-jan mono-fletch and love it. it puts a nice helicle on my shafts and they fly like darts.
