need a left wing indexer for a bitz

<< < (2/2)

Pappy:
Steve I don't quite understand the problem,Do you not have one at all.I have 2 or 3 old bitz jigs ,I think I may at one time had a left/right and straight but I only use one and don't glue the nocks until I am through fletching ,then put the nock where I want it,Mark it and glue on,I just push the nock on the tapper hard and watch that it don't slip while I am fletching,no problem.  :) Just curious, ??? it never seemed to index the nock where I wanted it anyway,haven't glued them until I am done fletching for years. :)

Pappy, the older style jig like he has with the levers that adjust your clamp angle, does not have the same indexer as the newer "dial-o-fletch ones do.  The new indexers will not even go up into the jig.  It is a totally different indexer.

i am going to do like you said pappy and Charles.i have been doing that,but i would like the right indexer so i don't have to.i think i am going to buy a new one.i just hate paying the 86.00.thanks guys for trying to help me.i just need to buy a modern jig.i like the old stuff and this is hard for me to do.thanks again,Steve

stringstretcher:
Part of what you might need to reason with Steve, is that when your jig was made, there might not have been enough warrent  for all the indexers that are used in this modern day?  I am sure back in the day, most archers were more concerned about have all feathers on any one shaft fletched exactly the same, verses an indexer that only moves the rear of the feather to one side or the other just a small amount.
