Fletching jig?

<< < (5/5)

bjrogg:
Have you ever tried shooting one without any fletching?  A bareshaft test? It can tell you a lot about your arrows.

Fletching is always the last thing I do. And before I fletch them I always shoot them bareshaft. If they fly tail left or right I change either the weigh of point or the length of arrows.

If you have a properly tuned arrow. It shouldn’t require much fletching.

If you want to talk bare shaft testing though, that’s a another thread. It gets difficult to describe,  but it’s really pretty simple

Fox:
bj, yes I always bar shaft, and that's usually easy for me to get correct arrow flight.... but most of the time after I fletch them I can't get them to shoot straight or group, although they usually won't group before fletching either. Now when I pick up a quiver of store-bought arrows I can shoot them all into a teacup (as the guy from khans says)
