Mirage Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Im very interested in fleching my own arrows, what is the difference between straight , right and left fletching, what should be done and how long of fletchings, 4 or 5 inch? I use a wisker biscuit and am not sure if i should be shooting straight fletch or what? I was going to buy a jig for doing maybe 12 arrows a year or so and wondered also if i should by one for a single arrow or for muliptle??

Guest bowhunter56 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: Fletching Arrows The choices are ours, straight, left or right, and 4 or 5'', buy the best jig you can afford, if your only doing a few arrows, an arizona jig will handle your needs. I have used all of them and i like the bitzengurger the best, but they are more expensive, but well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutchies Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Re: Fletching Arrows For shooting a biscuit the best jig for it would be the straight jig. If you buy a straight jig and a right jig that will be all you will ever need. You might check into Bohning Killer vanes or Bohning Blazer vanes. Both are very strong and hold up well thru the biscuit. With the straight jig you will want to create what is called and offset which means the vane will be straight but it will be set at a degree of offset which you choose. PM me if you have any more questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogdoc Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Re: Fletching Arrows i would strongly recommend the new 2" blazer vanes fletched in a helical pattern--you don't get a whole lot of helical since they are 2" but enough to really stabilize the arrow. Like Hutchies stated the blazers really hold up well thru a WB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
