Flething jigs

I'm thinking of buying a flething jig but don't know much about them. What brand should I buy ? what else should I get with it ?

bstout,
What do you mean about a makeshift adapter ? I contacted a seller on ebay and he said the Grayling comes with a crossbolt adapter.

Arizona EZ Fletch, as simple as it gets.

I bought one probably 15 years ago and it sucked. I then bought a couple of Martins, a Bohning and a Bitz, they all work well. Recently I bought a new Arizona and I am impressed. One thing that surpised me is that it does apply a little more pressure to the ends of the feathers and fletchings which is benificial. The only down side is that it does not allow as much flexibility as the others do. The others allow you to change from straight to helical with a swap of a clamp as well as being able to vary offset. Other than that the Arizona is simple to use and difficult to screw up with.

Have both a Grayling and a Blitzengurg both serve me well . The adapter you speak about can be made with a field point and nock for a swaged aluminum arrow . Glue the nock to the field point and you are done .

Thanks for all the info guys. I ended up ordering a Grayling and 2" Blazer vanes off of ebay now all I need is some blank shafts and brass inserts and I'll be ready for the trial and error process. Does anyone know where I can get some GT Laser 2 and some brass inserts ?

is there any great savings in buying the blanks and fletching your self?

I think there is less than $1.00 difference between fletched and bare shafts but the satisfaction you get from doing your own will be well worth it.

I find the best reason for doing my own is...I'm always damaging them for one reason or another. This way you can always repair them yourself.

so whats the average $$ output to set yourself up with a half decent fletching set up..
and were do you buy these components?
