Do I Need A Jig?

[Doc]

I have built and maintained hundreds of arrows over the years for myself, the kids, and friends. So I had to buy a Jo Jan multi-fletcher so I could knock out a pile of arrows in a real hurry. The Jo Jan does the job. http://www.jojan.net/

 

A multi-fletcher was not optional for me ..... lol.

no worries. i have heard that you've got to be careful with any jig really. the glue can mess them up. Now i'm reading aoubt helix and degrees and my mind is partially blown haha.

 

with drop away rests it's really not as much of an issue.  they all work.  you got it as moog said.  clean your jig after each use and you'll have no problems.  also as moog said you're stuck with max 6 degree helical and three vanes using the mini.  once you get out over 60 yards that much angle on the vanes gives it a parachute effect.  otherwise it won't hurt at all to notice, speed included.

no way I'm shooting over 40 so that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the info though. You guys have been very helpful.

I use bohning fletch tape and the bohning jig work well and you can put alot of feather on fast and the last a long time.

I bought a Bohning a few years back. I was tired of not just the price but the running back and forth to get a few arrows fixed. It is very easy once you do a few. It pays for itself in no time at all.

 

I buy Blazers in 100 packs off Amazon for my arrows and just got some Fusions for my crossbow bolts.
