Default RE: fletching degree

1. Use a " protractor" to find top degree setting.
2. Measure degree setting from top " center mark" on your Bitz.
3. Loosen " bottom" allignment knob just enough to allow shaft cradle to move.
4. Loosen " top" alignment knob just enough to slide shaft cradle to the degree you want.
5. Bottom alignment should remain " centered."
6. Firmly tighten both tension screws on both adjustments.
7. One you find the degree of offset you like, and you only intend to use the jig to fletch your arrows, apply medium-grade Loc-Tite on screws.

Regardless of what degree of offset you want, the jig' s max setting and the diameter of the shaft being fletched will dictate the maximum.

Using an offset on an average diameter shaft, you may find that 3 to 4 degree may be to much and the rail of your fletch/vane is not fully on your shaft. You may have to settle for a 1-2 degree.

I use 1 degree offset on a 5" feather on 2415 aluminum with 3-blade fixed BH' s and get excellent flight. I use straight fletch on 2413 aluminum, with same BH, for different bow and get excellent flight.


Go here to download and print a flexible protactor. Must have Adobe Reader 5 on your ' pute. Site also has the Adobe 5 to download.
