Bitzenburger vs JoJann

(1/3) > >>

HoBow:
Any REALLY good reason to spend the extra money?  If I get the Bitzenburger and want a left wing clip- do I have to get the indexer for cane arrows?  Thanks for any suggestions!

stringstretcher:
Over the years of working with fletching, the one thing I can tell you for sure.  When you use a single fletching jig for all arrows, every arrow out of it will be the same.  When using the JoJan, you have six different jigs, thus six different fletch orientations.  Now mind you,,,,and short distances,,,,very few can shoot well enough to see that difference with traditional equipment.  But for long range, dot drilling accuracy,,,it makes a huge difference.  I have a blitzenburger that I purchase in 1966 and use it to fletch every arrow I own.  I also have 3 JoJan jigs for mass production for the shop.  Just knowing that every arrow is the same, takes a lot of guess work out of the equipment set up.

I've only used a Blitz.  I love it, I only make a couple doz a year so speed isn't key for me.  It is a great tool and well worth the money.  It will last forever I use the indexer that it comes with for cane arrows with no problem.

HoBow:
Thanks Stringstretcher!  Rick, do you use left wing and right wing clips with that indexer or do you just use one type of feather?

DanaM:
Jeff I have the bitz and love it, I bought one that came with a right helical but ended up buying a straight clamp and indexer.
Don't think I've ever used the right clamp. The straight is versatile as you can use left or right feathers and offset left and right.
