Default Question about fletching?

Hey guys. I just found your sight recently and I think it is great. I have just begun trying to fletch my own arrows using a Graylingwith a right helical clamp andBlazer vanes. Do I need to offset the clamp using the helical, or isit just the preference of the person. Also, I am having a little trouble getting good contact with the vane and the arrow along one of the sides sometimes, do I need to make a few more adjustments? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, that is the exact jig and clamp, and fletching, I use. You need to loosen the thumb screw under the magnet and adjust the angle until the entire base of the vane makes contact w/ the arrow. Tighten, and you're ready to go.

Spot on. As long as the entire base of the vane will make contact for your chosen arrow, your golden.
