How to make a FLETCHING JIG - simple & effective - by VOGMAN

Simple, homemade fletching jig used to feather my arrows for target archery. The jig allows for perfect placement of feathers at multiple angles and can be used for straight or offset alignment. I also give brief details on how to build the jig.

The size of the feathers is dependent on how big the jig is. This one can support feathers up to 6 inches but you could build a jig for any size feather, including Medieval.

This fletching jig has a dial that connects to the nock of the arrow, allowing me to rotate the arrow for perfect placement of the cock feather, the left hen or the right hen. If you prefer, you could fit 2 feathers, or 4 or 5, etc. That choice is yours.

This fletching jig works on target-type point arrows. It's no good for broadheads, etc (sorry guys).

Credit for the PVC feather clamp has to go to Backyard Bowyer (thanks Nick) which you can see here:
