Country Arizona Carbon E-Z Fletch Pro Tool

New to fletching, and, while I'm probably not saving all that much on a dozen or so arrows twice a year, I enjoy this sort of stuff, so I made the modest investment. Steep learning curve, for this dolt, because I missed the bit of instructions that tell you how to align the arrow nock bar in the base with the slots (in fairness to the reviewer, this pearl of wisdom is on the right hand side of the page and not included in the main text - maybe it was added later?). In any event, after screwing up a few vanes, I made some serviceable arrows. Then I discovered how to align the slots and things improved considerably - new fletching is easy, and I can now replace/repair just one three vanes with no difficulty.Because I'm new at this, and exactly as they warn against, I used too much glue in my first attempts and ended up with some rather unsightly shafts. They shoot just fine, and I'm not embarrassed to look like an amateur when, in fact, I am an amateur, but I'll probably get around to cleaning them up anyway.All in all, this jig works very well and is easily mastered - for you, perhaps fifteen minutes and one or two attempts; for me, longer, but not all night, either. And if you screw up, that's what that scraper tool is for. Do it again. Not a big deal. Works for me, and I recommend it strongly.

I received this fletching kit several months ago, and did not get a chance to use it for awhile after receiving it. I have now used it to fletch a couple dozen arrows, and I can say that, for the money, it is hard for me to imagine that it can be beat. Very, very simple to use, and everything lines up perfectly. Arrows I've fletched with this tool fly every bit as true as those with factory fletching. I've used it to refletch arrows on which the factory fletching has been stripped or ruined, as well as to fletch some that came without factory fletching. I have zero complaints. Cheap, and maybe cheap-looking, but amazingly accurate, handy, and efficient. I recommend this tool without reservations.

I have 2 of these fletch tools, mini and regular models. Overall I am very pleased with how they work. Super easy and efficient. Just put 3 fletching in, glue, put shaft in, and close up. Wait 5 minutes, do another arrow. It really is that simple.Only complaint is I wish the arms at least were metal. I just think anything made of plastic is to cheap and vulnerable to breakage. You need to be careful not to over glue the fletching causing glue to run out and onto the jig also causing fletchings to stick to the arm. Sometimes the over glued fletching will separate from the arrow shaft. Very disappointing. I have had great luck fletching feathers with the tool, both the mini and regular models. Maybe because feathers require less glue equals less glue buildup.Clean up is a pain. I didn't have luck soaking in acetone like it says in directions. What worked for me was using a knife blade to scrape off excess buildup. Took some patience but it got the job done.I would recommend this tool for anybody because it is just so simple to use.

this fletches perfectly just like a professional. my arrows look better than they did when I got them fletched from a bow shop im never going to have some bow shop take 3 weeks to fletch my arrows ever again. it takes about 65 minutes to fletch 6 arrows. this fletching jig works great. just make sure you get the nock lined up in the slot its supposed to go into if you don't pay attention you could get it set up off set and your arrow wont fletch correctly. and the pins are a little hard to get out when changing arms. it works great with 5 inch feathers and you can use 4 inch vanes or even 2 inch vanes. if you want to do feathers and 2 inch vanes I recommend getting this and the mini arms for the 2 inch just because the mini arms have a gnarly helical. but this does good 2 inch vanes as it is now.

First, let me say that I am not the most wonderful person at fixing things. I was tired of bringing messed up fletching's up to the archery store and having them fixed though. My kids seem to have advanced skill at messing up fletching's on their arrows. I purchased this because of the review's. I needed something that even I could do. I am extremely happy with this purchase.My husband did the first few arrows and showed me how to use this. It was so easy. We bought a stripper to get the glue from the previous fletching off of the arrow. We also bought Bohning Fletch Tite glue. With this you just snap the arrow in place, put the new fletching(s) in the groove, put glue on it and cap it, then move the piece on the bottom. After just a few minutes the arrow will be ready, while waiting you can get the next arrow ready.My 10 year old wanted to try it and she watched me once and did an arrow on her own. That is how easy this is. I not only would recommend this, I have. Even our archery coach was impressed with how easy this is to use. So, thank you other reviewers for helping me make the decision to purchase this.

Was super stoked to get a couple sets of arrows done today. Had them prepped and ready, then I tried to push the bottom up and turn to lock to allow me to get the nock into the middle of the fingers but I was unable to get it to go high enough to get over the notch. Not sure if the spring was sticking or what, I have used the mini jigs without issues in the past but this one was not budging into position.

It's ok for couple arrows, but the glue just gets everywhere in it! All in the joints that articulate an all in the crack where the vanes go. I just took some oil an put it on joints an the vane cracks to prevent them sticking. I was able to do 6 arrows though. Next day pry apart the arms .
