How important is a fletching jig?

<< < (2/3) > >>

koan:
Jamie thats to simple, theres no way it could work :P. Actually thats a great idea..gonna try it, thanks.....Brian

Justin Snyder:
Yea, what Brian said. To easy, wont work.  ;) I have a fletching jig, but I think I will try that idea anyway.  It would sure make it easier to wrap.  Justin

Trapper:
I know this isnt primitive, but its what I do. I just use superglue and glue my cock feather on first, then the others accordingly , and then trim and wrap. I can probably fletch faster than with a jig. I can do a doz. arrows in about one hour . which is plenty fast enough for me, The only thing I use is the fletching clip too work my feathers in, and I use a dremel tool too take the spine of the feather down with. I dont strip them , that makes them too flemsy for me.      Trapper

I have an article I wrote on hand fletching intended to go to PA, maybe I should finish it up and send it in.
Basically, I 'strip' the feathers and cut a small tail in either end to wrap. I first wrap the back, then spread glue on the inside of the feather, then wrap the fronts.
Hope this helps.
