Fletching jig...

Yesterday I was messing with my Grayling jig. Still waiting on the Blazers to come but figured I could try and understand it. I switched out the 3X 120 **** out ring for the 3X120 **** down ring since my **** vane is one blue vane and will be down because I use a prong rest. So when I begin fletching do I just fletch one vane as the **** and the other 2 will be the white vanes or is there a certain place or click I put on the **** vane or does it not matter since the vane placement is already determined by the jig? If any of this makes sense....

Also, when I have the offset or jig set so the vane sits well on the shaft and I tighten it down, I won't need to adjust it again for the other vanes?

Yes it will make a difference. Will have to set it right in relation to your nock if your nocks are not adjustable Ruth. Looks like the auto edit will not let you call the off vane you are referring to what it is. I always start with my off colored vane and go from there.

Not sure on your jig as far as adjusting it again, but would think you should not have to. Dont have to with the bitz.

Once you have done a couple it will seem really easy.

If your nocks are adjustable you should not have to worry about it Ruth. After you get done fletching them, just turn the nock where you want it to give you the right clearance and get your off colored vane facing out and you should be all set.

Well I finished my first arrow...didn't need to move the nock...I got it right the first time,lol. Turned out ok more or less...still fiddling with getting the vane to sit just right...not gonna worry about offset...that seems to come with getting the vane to sit but I think I have a slight right offset. I'll try another one maybe later..and I'll post a photo,lol.
