Hey guys.....this is my first posting on this website. I wanted to see what everyone think. I just started getting into fletching my own arrows. I just got a Jo-Jan mon fletcher and a bunch of 2" Blazer fletching. I cant wait to try them. I have heard good comments about each product. I have a ton of arrows with only fletching problems, and this will give me more practice arrows. Anyone out there using the same setup? B)

I use a Bitzenberger straight clamp with the 2 inch Blazer and 2413 Easton Eclipse alloy shafts. Follow the prep instructions per Bohnig including drying the shaft with ONE wipe in ONE direction. If the vane peels off and leaves no residue on the shaft, poor shaft cleaning!
All that is needed is 1 to 2 degrees of offset (no helical required). Excessive twist actually reduces velocity at extended range.
My problems have been in using different manufacturer's cyno-acrilate glues (super glue). Not all are created equally. Loctite 498 (medium viscocity) is great and easier to control than the very thin stuff. Bohnig's Fletchtite works well but tends to be on the heavy side during application.
Tough vanes that work well.
