I've never added up the cost for a line of glue on a feather! But I guess mordecaia is in the right ballpark. About 85 cents per arrow, not counting the fletching jig. I agree with his recommendation for the jig as well. It's a good jig for the money, but not the equal of a Bitz. Only I'd recommend using Bohning fletch tape for feather fletching instead of glue.
