first and last fletching jig

Post by Easy Money »

Im looking for input on buying a good quality fletching jig that won't break the bank but won't break period. I reload my own ammo and I'm anal about quality of the end product I want a jig that will give me a professional looking job at a real world price and functionality any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

The e z fletch is great for cost and functionality, but it is plastic. At a higher cost you have the Bitzenberger jig. VERY adjustable, very precise, very dependable. You'll never wear it out. I may be mistaken but I believe that's what Big John uses...I think. It all depends what you're looking for and how much $$$$ you want to spend.

That's the king of fletching jigs I just thought the Arizona fit the "real world price" tag he mentioned. :)

I have 3 diff. fletchers but I seem to always go to
my ez fletch bolt.

Some here have had some complaints about them
and I know there are better ones out there,
but it works great for me and the price is right.

I hear ya Tye. I just thought I'd give an option for the 'OCD' side that was mentioned. :wink:

You can go to the For Sale area here and on Archerytalk.com and get a Bitz for under $40.00. I know because I worked a deal with a fellow hunter in the
For Sale area and got a Like New Bitz, to my door, dirt cheap.

Remember so people just like to rotate their toys so they can buy new ones.

I have owned the EZ Fletch and the Bitz. Both did the job. But I sold those and bought the one Firenock sells and very glad I did. You can buy just parts of it so you do not have to buy the hole kit and it makes it so you spend a little more than if you bought a Bitz.
I bought a laser off ebay and mounted it and made my own holding jig. best jig I have ever owed. I kept my right clamp from my bitz. jig and use it . If I use Dorge's glue or the glue Jerry uses at South Shore Archery I can do arrows as fast as I could with the EZ fletcher. I no longer have arms and vanes that are glue to each other and the shaft. If I loose one vane I clean that area line the laser up with one of the vanes rotate the shaft in the holder and fletch one vane. Not sure why I cannot get pic to post will have to work on that I guess.

Bitz' gigs are good. However, since I got the Bohning tower, I do not use anything else...

AZ EZ Fletch, Bolt all the way. First few arrows are iffy then everything is good. You can buy parts if required. They are not expensive.
