Re-Fletching with a Bitz

[bigcat93]

What do you guys do to refletch arrows that may only have had 1 vane come off?

I find that when I fletch either 3 or 4 vanes I have to turn nock to have vanes for rest so when I go to refletch, I can’t find that original position..

Put it in the bitz with one of the other vanes in the position it would be as if you just set it then turn one notch and should be where missing one needs to go, I’ve never had any problems with them being a little off, but some of the tuning purists may think that’s blasphemy.

I mark my nocks and shaft with a sharpie after I have nock tuned them and before I fletched them for the first time, so that makes it easy for me to have my arrow in the jig in the same orientation (or at least close enough for me) if one vane comes off.

Orient the index of the nock with the index of the jig’s nock receiver and rotste the nock receiver until the spot where the fletch goes is positioned properly for gluing. Or……. Go to Zingers! I have no affiliation. I’ve fletched my own arrows for years as many of you have on a single Bitzenberger jig. But I’ll tell you the zingers make things super quick. More expensive but they have a lifetime warranty though can orient them on the shaft however you want.

I’m a little surprised Zingers haven’t gotten more popular. I picked up a few at the Iowa Deer Classic and they worked well, were easy to install, and seem durable. Only reason I didn’t just go that direction entirely is that I enjoy the time I spend tinkering putting arrows together.

This is exactly why I have gone to the EZ fletch. I could rarely get a fletching repair to line up with the blitz.
