Default Refletching...Need Advice

I've got about 3 dozen arrows that need to be refletched. I'm thinking about getting the Arizona E-Z Fletch, and was just wondering if this is a good jig to use, and if not, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

I have been using one for a couple years now and I love them. They are simple to use and you can do a complete arrow in 5 minutes.

I have a Grayling Fletcher and love it. The plastic version of the Bitz.It is very simple to use and you can get perfect results the first time you use one.

Over time plastic jigs will be inconsistent. IMO if you are looking for a quick and dirty method of fletching arrows, the Arizona is a good tool. If you want something that will last, something that won't warp in heat, won't crack after 5 years of use....go with a Bitz. The accuracy of the Bitz is unmatched.

The Grayling is a good jig. I THINK it's only about $30. You will get your money out of it with just doing your arrows you are about to fletch.

I don't usually use mine in a blast furnace!Take a look around your house, or your car for that matter,and see how many things you use every day are made out of plastic. How many of those have you broken lately? For half the price my Grayling will do just fine.

Well I ended up buying the Bohning Blazer Jig. I just finished 6 arrows in about 45 minutes, but I was really taking my time since this was my first batch. They came out good, but I noticed the Blazers start about 1/2 inch closer to my nock than the factory had them. Will this be a big deal?
