Title: My fletching jig(s)
Post by: oat on February 13, 2012, 11:51:58 pm

I put a bundle of (6,9 or 12 depending on shaft size) bamboo BBQ sticks over arrow shaft.
Put a rubber band on one end.
Insert glue wings between the sticks.
Put another rubber band over another end.
Done.

Very smart.  If you wax the sticks, then you never have to worry about wayward glue.
