Anyone using this fletching jig that can tell me is there a way to adjust the length to where your fletching will start on the shaft? I use a bitzenburger and was looking at a mini max. I like how much of a helical you can create with it.
How would you keep the vane from sliding down on you?Yes, I use mine quite a bit. Make a mark on the jig when you determine where you want to fletch. Make sure your nock is completely seated into the jig too or you could end up with some weird offset fletching.

I just seen some massive helical people have done with the mini max and aae max stealths and I wanted to try them out. I cant get a helical like that with my bitzenburger. I usually run my fletching an inch from end of carbon to start of fletching due to my beard. Thanks
I've never had an issue of them sliding down I guess. I have to shimmy the vanes through the clamp pieces and the pressure after placing the cap on is enough to hold them in place. Are you fletching some tiny diameter arrows and the arrow is too loose in the jig or are your vanes loose in the clamp pieces?How would you keep the vane from sliding down on you?

I get it, I just move the vanes where I want them in the jig if I'm not going with the pre-set position. The pressure of the jig holds them in place and it only takes a few seconds for the glue to initially set. I just keep an eye on it for a few seconds so I know everything looks good.Hey J, re-read what he's asking. I think you're answering different questions. He wants to move the fletchings further away from the nock than where they naturally land. He isn't asking about basic function. I tried to explain a way to do what he wants while using the EZ Fletch as designed. He's concerned about the fletching sliding down because he wants to pick a different area than at the bottom to set the vane in the slot (probably using the full sized EZ fletch....which doesn't do the tight helical anyways.....compared to the little guys).

I'm pretty sure it's the pro. I'd have to look at the packaging when I get home. I'm not able to put too much helical on a 2" vane like the op seems to be describing and at least no more than my bitzenburg with a helical clamp.Ok
which ez fletch do you have?

Actually I dont have any of the ez fletch. Just a bitzenburger. Was wondering if you could place the vanes farther down the shaft with a ez fletch before I bought one.Hey J, re-read what he's asking.
