fletching jig recommendations
 

I'm switching to carbon arrows and want to fletch my own arrows. I have an old Arizona fletcher that I used for my aluminum arrows, but was told I need a different jig for carbons. I single arrow fletcher is fine. Also, will fletch tite glue work on carbon? Thanks for any recommendations.

Jeff.

I have the AEF for aluminum arrow and fletch my Axis with it no problems at all.

The glue I use is the Beyond Bond I get it in a 2oz bottle it is a little on the expensive side @ $16 but it holds great the only problem is it holds too good and makes re-fletching a bit of a pain.

Ive got 2 blitzenbergers , and an arzona . The arazona is the one that gets used . Its an alluminum model , but I use it for accs and axis allso , works great .

I use a Grayling fletcher. Works quite well, and is simple. I used fletch tite, and it doesn't work real well. I switched to Bond Tite, and that did it.

I'd go with the Bitz.

Here's a vote for the Bitz. If ya don't wanna spend the extra money for the Bitz then buy the Grayling, it's pretty much the same thing but a plastic version. My favorite glue for carbon is Bohning Fletch Tite II Instant Gel.

I have 2 Bitzenbergers with right wing clamps and onr greyling with strait clamp
both are good clamps but I preferr the bitz.

I have a Bitz and I'm pretty satisfied with it at this point. I haven't tried an others so it's hard to compare.

I'v been using the greyling with a straight clamp. Onlt complaint I have is it would be nice to have graduations to help setting offset.

I have 12 bitz jigs on a lazy susan...

As far as the AZ fletcher... it depends on which kind of carbons you have... if they're the thin diameter shafts.. you'll have too much play and the fletching won't be evenly spaced. If you're using a larger diameter carbon shaft.. then it will work just fine.
