Default RE: Experiences and learnings with my first arrow build

The screw on the nock holder lets you rotate your nocks if needed for clearence. I have the same jig & like it alot. Once I get it set & making arrows the way I want its great but it can be frustrating if you move anythng. I try & keep at least one arrow together before building more. This way you can loosen everything & put in an arrow you like, place the clamp over the fletch & carefully line everything up. This way making arrows identical to the ones you have is a snap. If your arrows are all always the same this dont matter but I fletch with vanes & feathers both & found that the vanes being thinner than the feathers I needed to adjust the jig to get them to turn out the same, cock feather down with a slight right offset for me.

Good luck, I think you'll like building your own arrows. Heck of a satisfied feeling when you take a deer with an arrow you put together from scratch.
