Default Fletching arrows



I'm pretty stumped on which fetching jig to order. I used to use my bohning but it got lost some how. I was leaning towards Arizona EZ fletch or a bitzenberger. Any pros and cons with either jig. Also wondering if you have any other pros and cons from the picture posed above. I use right offset now but was leaning towards right helical. What are you guys using ??

Default Fletching

I've bought three different jigs....wish I'd have bought a bitz in the beginning.

If you're shooting traditional a helical fletch is a good idea, especially if you aren't very well tuned.

The more high tech you go the less offset you need I think

They all have their pro's and con's, even if its minor such as being a bigger jig, I use Jo Jan multi jigs that do six arrows at a time, we have several of them, A little old school bulky but work...a pro is they are totally adjustable for any vane or feather.

Since the invent of vinyl vanes, it said to avoid straight stretch like the plaque for Broadheads...
Helical preform very well but are noisy in flight
We use right offset as much as arrow and vane used allow full contact on each other...
