Started fletching a bunch of BEA with blazers I had for some time an took a close look an not happy with the precision I seen from the Arizona fletcher an I had just gave it a good cleaning today. some uneven spacing between vanes an a few other things I did not like.
So I got my bitz out with a right helix clamp an put about as much offset as I could on it with the vane sitting nice an flat now back in business like I use to fletch with a perfect looking precision job. I did most of my shooting before with arrows fletched this same way with fieldpoints an broadheads before getting the Ariziona fletcher.
I think the Ariziona ok for a quick fletch job an putting lots of helix on if need be but I will be using my bitz from now on an get a much more precision job on my fine BEA arrows . my bohning tower jig ,Ariziona fletcher are plastic crap compared to my bitzenburger .
I recently bought the tower as well - so much better!!!!

Ive got a Blitz and have never tried blazers on it mainly because I dont have a Nock adapter for a flat xbow nock, Whats everyone using on their Blitz for an adapter ?

Just glue an old style nock on a field tips if you use inserts for nocks.I use the crossbow nock knob that I bought at lancaster archery an it works great .
I've used the aa and the bitz, to me the Grayling is tops, cock feather down or left or four fletched arrows just by changing a plate it's the complete deal and does a super job one at a time, also comes with adapter

If you want the job done with precision . Nothing beats a Blitz .
I use a nock epoxied to a field tip . To add a little adjustment I have a O-ring on the adapter .
For me the Arizona was a good starter jig. Easy to use and gave acceptable results. after borrowing and testing a Bitz i ended up buying one because of the precision adjustments you can make to get exactly what you think is best. \i also prefer gluing one vane at a time - it makes me slow down and enjoy the process more.

I made an adapter from plastic, but if you contact them directly they will send you one, I think it's about $20 or so.

Just got done testing 3 arrows done on the Ariziona fletcher an 3 done on the bitz.the 6 arrows were all BEA .001 - 20 inch with 92 gr.brass,blazers,plastic nocks,100gr tips with weight of 400gr. All were shot from my vixen at 33 yds from my bench rest with sand bags in a light wind .the 3 done on the Ariziona were a little off for being perfect like normal for me with it. the three done on the bitz looked perfect but just a little helix an some offset from my RH bitz helix clamp but not near as much as the Ariziona for helix.
I shot each arrow 3 times at the same target for grouping an poi .an the group average for the ones done on the Ariziona was 3/4 inch with none touching another arrows hole . the ones done on the bitz averaged a 1/2 inch with all the arrows making one big clover like hole on each target. the poi was also better on bitz arrows . the bitz arrows all hit 2 inches higher than the Ariziona fletched arrows. so precision fletching does make a difference for me compared to a crappy helix job. I guess a precision helix job will do better but I can,t do one on the other Fletcher's I have
