Bitzenburger jigs also have an adjustment for the amount of fletching you want to use. This jig looks like a copy of the Bitzenburger. I like that the Bitzenburger has metal clamps so if you use glue and it gets on the clamp it’s easy to remove with a razor blade.

Made my own jig years ago with a hand crank painting lathe on it, works great so iv stuck with it, great vid mate.

Tickle your nose with a feather. :-) Love your spiral wrap. Brilliant!

[@chriskurth]

Great video Grizzly!! Would love a video regarding that spiral wrap flu flu you got there :) Can't wait to order some more full-length feathers and try some 6 fletched flu flu's!

[@shanew5361]

I have only ever used glue when fletching arrows. Would you recommend wrapping the fletching when using tape, maybe just on the tips? It seems that tape would eventually tear off in flight. Has this ever been an issue for you?

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Hey Shane W, When I use tape I tend to I always top and tail them with a dab of fletch tight. The thing is with tape it either works amazingly or it doesn't, a lot of has to do with the prep work. Making sure that shaft is totally grease free. I've never had one come off in flight though... But recently I've moved back to fletchtite. Hope that helps buddy, take care.

Great video!! Thanks Jim!

[@youngned497]

I have just ordered the bearpaw fletching jig with a straight and a left wing helical clamp from merlins.Hoping it's as good as you say :-)

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Oh you're gonna love it! I was using mine yesterday and I'm still chuffed with it! Take care and thanks for getting in tough (loo brush not included ;)

[@youngned497]

Archery Adventures Yep it's as good as you say :-) it arrived on saturday, since then i have repaired every arrow i have with missing fletch's and ran out of shafts to make more!! well recommended sir :-)

Awesome Vid Grizz. Thank you.

[@shayden5289]

I want to know where you got that hobby knife handle... that looks pretty sweet!

[@decab8292]

Terribly late on this one, my apologies. Just one quick question, What’s the story on the Winchester rifle sitting on the rack behind you ? Great tutorial, thanks 😊

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Mad Technician it’s so old I almost can’t remember... I used to be a picture framer, and that was filmed in my workshop, I was going to frame it one day but never got around to it

[@decab8292]

Archery Adventures I know exactly what you mean, we all have those kinds of jobs. Thank you for your time.😎

[@JustJane1972]

Great video. What's the difference between a flu flu and a normal arrow feathers. Really sorry I'm completely new. 😊

[@randyclarke4532]

A flu flu arrow has more veins to it. Plus they are a lot taller they’re uncut they’re made for small game hunting for instance, any type of bird hunting or like squirrels and rabbits what it does is it doesn’t allow the arrow to fly as far.

[@Chiliarcher]

How necessary is it to have spiraling ( I suppose thats the right word) feathers? Does the flight change drastically if the feathers were to be glued on straight?

[@QuentinSingvogel]

The arrow gets stabilized much quicker if the fletching has some spiraling to it. Why? Because the arrow will start to spin right after leaving your bow, stabilizing the arrow in flight. Straight fletching does also work just fine, but the arrow may "wobble" a bit in flight before it stabilizes. BUT spinning arrows will also lose speed (or energy i should say) much quicker. So they're nice to shoot targets not too far away and perfect to shoot targets up close, but for long range shots you probably want to go for straight fletching. Hope I could help you a little ;)

[@feralgrandad4429]

Are you in the back of a picture frame shop? moulding on racks and samples on the wall? only ask because I do all my archery 'bits and bobs' in the framing shop I work in lol :-)

[@ArcheryAdventures]

Feral Grandad lol good spot ! Yeah... seems like A lifetime ago now

[@feralgrandad4429]

Too funny, btw, you got me back into Archery after not touching a bow for 32 years. more importantly, into instinctive archery, cheers for that.

[@alainfara3404]

Do they come with the 3 different clamps? Because i have been on the website and it ask you to choose between left right or straight.

[@ArcheryAdventures]

I believe the complete fletching system does... but normally you pick one and get the others separately...

[@darcyleepearson4416]

you mentioned that it does 3 and 6 feathers does it do 4 and 5 as i use 4 feathers? :)x

[@cardenben]

Nice henry golden boy

[@ArcheryAdventures]

lol... Well spotted, yeah its a frame shop.

[@luizgabriel3316]

bom dia

[@ozziejim8472]

Any one use fluflus on rabbits??

[@psykopanda11]

this is both cheating and a waste of money.. i see no reason to buy it unless you are making arrows on an industrial scale in order to supply several medieval castles!
