Bitzenburger jig question

[coxy95]

Hey guys I have a question about the jig on a bitzenburger. On there site they list a straight, right helical and left helical jig. I realize the differences in the clamps themselves but what if any is the difference between the jigs? Thanks in advance.

just the clamp is different...

Just a heads up in case you didn't know, there is an upgrade to Bitz offered by
60x strings here maybe other dealers in CA that sell it as well, it's called the
Zenith upgrade.

Something I'm looking into for my Bitz. just havn't had the time to get around to
it yet.

Just thought if you were looking to buy a Bitz. or even just the clamps you may
want to check out the receiver upgrade to save some shipping costs if your interested.

Some claim the upgrade makes a big difference others say it's simply the way you set up and seat the arrow that makes a difference.

I may order one this summer and try it, just because I have an old Bitz.

Here's a quote from a reply from Nut&bolts (been shoot bows a long time)...

The nock receiver has a plate inside,
that fits your nock groove. This plate MUST be skinny, narrow
to fit WIDE, LARGE groove nocks
and to fit, SKINNY groove nocks.

So,
if you have a "not skinny" groove nock,
then, there is some slop, by design.

Therefore,
when you fletch your arrows,
ONE of the three vanes positions will have the nock slide down the "ramp", the plate inside the nock receiver.

If you push down even the TINIEST bit too hard on the clamp,
when pushing the clamp down onto the shaft of the arrow...

what happens,
is that the nock goes OUT of center, in the nock receiver
cuz the nock slides down the PLATE, inside the nock receiver.

Sooo,
if you do NOT want to continue to drive yourself NUTS....absolutely BONKERS...
you have TWO options.

1) purchase the Zenith upgrade, and enjoy super easy, dead consistent, PERFECT 120 degree separation

or

2) REFINE YOUR Technique, when using the STandard Bitz.

This was Nuts&bolts previous reply on how to refine your technique...


STEP 1. BOLT your Bitz jig to a plate of plywood

STEP 2. Clamp the plate of plywood to your workbench, dining room table

STEP 3. Use your left hand to push the arrow IN LINE into the nock receiver, so the nock cannot slip out of alignment with the nock receiver

STEP 4. Use your right hand to slide the clamp down GENTLY onto the arrow shaft.

This should help you get PERFECT 120 degree separation.

Makes sense to me, I'm gonna try the upgrade later this summer.
I too have noticed over the years that sometimes, some arrows just don't
fletch even on all 3 axis.
