Hi,
Considering buy a ARIZONA EZ Fletching Jig and was wondering how well they work. Any good or hype?

Been using one for the last 4 years.

Anything special I need to know? Does it lay the base of the fletchings good and tight?

Yeah if it was crap and done a crappy job I would not still be using it

Well,
thats what I assumed but you know what they say about 'assuming!'

If you do a search on this forum you will find a lot of discussion about it.

It's a cheap and fast jig but in my humble opinion there are MUCH better choices available. I would rather have the Bitz for the ultimate in quality and precision or even the Grayling which is simply a inexpensive version of the Bitz. To each his own

i have a couple. of them and think they are great. real easy to use

Scoobiedoo, I cant tell you nothing about the Arizona EZ Fletcher, But I can tell you I use a Bitz that came from the old Bear plant in Grayling, Befor they moved to Florida, and it does as good a Job today as when I got it 20 something years ago. No telling how many Arrows if fletched befor I got it!!!

I've got 2 EZ (both are straight) fletchers and I think they are great for vanes. I coat mine with bow wax, to keep the glue from sticking to it. Also after I put the cap on it (while it's drying). I turn the arrow upside down (nock up). I do this because if the glue drips down the arm, to where it pivits, it'll glue it together. This happened to me and I sent it back to the company and they replaced it (good customer service). I can do a 1/2 dozen arrows in a half hour with the two I have.

I don't really like this jig for feathers as they are difficult to get loaded into the arms, and because of the curve of the feather, they don't want to stay in the arm (at the ends). The Bitz is a great jig for both but you have to do each feather or vane, so it takes longer.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. Have fun.
