Ready to use instantly, fletch 6 arrows in 5 minutes and be done. No fletching jig required.
I agree that shrink fletch is easy and really good. The problem is that arrows are already outragous to buy let alone paying $40 more a dozen for two packs of shrink fletches. I have used the shrink fletch and have good results but it is not the most cost effective way. I have used about all fletchers. You will get what you pay for. Bohning are pretty good but the Bitz is better. Also cost more, so they should be.
