I decided to try my hand at fletching
I went out and got my first fletching jig today (I went with the Bohning)
I used 2 1/4" Gateway feathers (I've been wanting tomake the switch from vanes to feathers)
This was my first attempt at this, but I think they turned out pretty good...Im pretty proud of myself
What do ya think?

I was thinking about buying that one or the one for $60 with magnets from Gander. How do you like it?

I would suggest using a green scotch brite pad over the fine sandpaper, but they look good. Nicely done. It's really not as difficult as most people think, but using the right amount of glue does take a bit of practice.

Yea I know you can see I got a little crazy with the glue[&:]but I just did a few more and they look alot "neater"
Im sorta starting to get the hang of it

Looks good other than the excess glue. I use the Arizona EZ fletcher. It was cheap, but seems to be working pretty good as long as I make sure the vanes are pushed completely down in the slot before I let them touch the arrow.
