fletching jigs and set up??? help.
I've got a Matrix 380 and want to cut my 20" Firebolts down to 18". I use lumenoks and I'm waiting for my heavy brass inserts so I can shoot my 100gr toxic broadheads. I was thinking of trying 2"blazers. I currently use a Bitzenburger jig. How much offset should I have? Is there a faster or better or easier jig? Any suggestions or help will be much appreciated.

If you have the Bitz or similar jig for vertical bows, how do people adapt them for the flat style knocks on crossbows? Is there some sort of standard to crossbow knock converter used during the fletching time and removed afterward?

You can buy different arms for the AZ EZ Fletch. Check out their web site. Bowhunters Superstore sell a lot of parts for these as well.paulaboutform wrote:Thanks Hank.

i bought a converter then ended up just gluing a nock onto an old field point and screw it into the back of the arrow .i also place a rubber oring between the field point and the insert so i have some wiggle room to index the first vainlovelight wrote:If you have the Bitz or similar jig for vertical bows, how do people adapt them for the flat style knocks on crossbows?

The Bits is good but one vane at a time.The best AAE jig for 2" Blazers is called the BOLT, right helical, for the green (aluminum arrow) base. Works great for me. You can order just the arms (@$15) if you already have the base.paulaboutform wrote:Thank you everyone for the great ideas and suggestions.

Re: fletching jigs and set up??? help.
I used to have an archery shop until I retired in 2008. I have 12 bitz jigs and many years ago I bought a dz. plastic nocks from Kinsey's that are a slip fit in 2016 shafts so I could make bolts on my bitz jigs. However they would not fit in the GT shafts that I now shoot so I turned them down a few thousands so they will fit into the GT shafts. Anyone can do the same thing by chucking them in an electric drill and turning them into a draw file. After fletching I scuff the inside wall with a .357 bore brush and put the threaded aluminum insert in with hot melt glue so that I can easily get the nock out if I have to refletch. To get the nock out without damaging the shaft I screw a field point into the nock and heat the point until I can remove the nock.
The older I get, the better I used to be.

There,s faster ones like said but none better than the bitz for one at a time prescision . had some of my best shooting arrows by using RH clamp with as much offset as I could put on them an still lay flat on the shaft with blazers. brass inserts,blazers,squared,weighed,spin tested with good quality shafts equals fine accuracy with about any shaft lenth an broadheads for me.

you can get the bolt adapter for the blitzengurger or you can make your own using an arrow nock
