Fox:
I’m trying to find the most cost effective and time efficient way of getting arrows… I’m really bad at fletching and arrows I fletch never shoot good and it’s not cause of the arrow shaft I use the same spine as the arrows I buy… anyway so I always buy arrows but that’s way to expensive…

How good are fletching jigs? Would they help me do you guys think? And are cheaper ones worth it? Or is the only one worth having the bitzenburg

Pat B:
Have you tried the Eastern Woodland 2 fletch on your arrows? They are quite simple to make and can work as well as a typical 3 fletch.

Fox:
Yeah Pat I've done the 2 fletch and love it, I have only fletched like 2 arrows that way and really like it. Maybe I should try fletching a batch with correct spine and see how they turn out!

Don W:
I made my own. I was frustrated with the ones I bought. These worked better https://www.diy.timetestedtools.net/diy-arrow-fletching-jig/

Jigs are great.  Made a couple of homemade models thst didn't work as good as I would've liked so acquired some commercial models.

I have both an older Bitzenberger and a plastic Bohning and honestly I prefer the cheap plastic Bohning jig.

Alot of guys complain that glue sticks to the plastic...well, easy solution: oil it.  I use just a smidge of olive oil on the tip of my finger and wipe it along the contact surfaces inside and outside.  Works great to prevent any glue slop from sticking.
