Bohning fletching jig

[Daniel n]

I found these in some of my dad's hunting stuff. He said he was going to learn how to use it but never did. He said he bought them used from a guy who only shot aluminum arrows. Will they work on carbons? One says left on the clamp I assume it's for a left helix. Are they worth anything?

I use that model on carbons and have for a while. As long as you have a small bead of glue the whole vane and it presses it evenly along the shaft, you could fletch wooden dowels. Mine is red, but it's the same piece of equip. I have a straight clamp and right clamp. They say if you shoot right handed to use a right helix. I've also heard that a left helix spins counterclockwise and will unscrew your broad head or field tip when it hits the target. TBH not sure just how valid that is. I have to tighten mine after a few shots spinning clockwise.

You're good to go with those. They're anywhere from $60-80 for the whole shebang and $25-30 for an extra clamp. You have two whole shebangs. LOL!

If you're right handed and fletching Blazers to carbon I'd skip those and go with an Arizona EZ Fletch Mini. Puts an aggressive right helical on the shaft and is easy to use.

Thanks everyone. I'm not sure I want to even fool with them. I basically only shoot a couple days a week from May or June through archery season.
