does anyone have any comments good or bad on the arizona ez-fletch...especially input on the helical ?
i have a couple of those, it doesnt have much hellical.
it works if thats all you got...but.
your better off spending your money on a desent jig.
I like mine esp for throwing in a backpack for a weekend trip. Pretty easy to use, the helical twist is ok, not a ton but better than straight. :D
ezy fletch is easy to install fletches consistantly the same time in time out. It is lacking on the helical, if you prefer a lot of twist definatly go to another jig.I have been tempted to buy a blitzenburg or jo jan myself as I have seen really good deals lately on that part of this site, I have a grayling which does a descent job I just have difficulty getting same set on all my shafts, MY fault not the jigs.But one day will have a couple blitzs or jojans Lord willing. I really enjoy making arrows my woodies are fine to hunt with kind of simple like me I guess, but one day maybe they'll be works of art like some of yalls. To get back to real question if you need a lot of helical better try another in my opinion,but it works fine for me, FOR NOW!!!
I have just got my first AZ EZFletch this year....yes the helical is milder than some but guess what....have not noticed any negative impact on arrow flight..they still spin and still fly true.
unless you build a bunch of arrows or do it for a business...I dont know how the EZ Fletch could not be the best deal out there in a no nonsense setup...
Used them quite a bit. Works great. Made in America. Portable if you are invited to a Fletching party. Have known Archery Shops to use 6 on pegs, standing vertical for doing quantities of arrows.
I do all my arrows in rt helical with the arizona fletching tool...I'm satisfied.
My Dad bought one, he didn't like it. I tried to use it....I prefer a Bitz or a BPE. I don't think there is anything WRONG with it, it is just different than I am used to.
I have had one for probably 20 years. I used to do all my practice and 3D arrows with them, and then made my hunting arrows with the Bitz because I could adjust the helical for better broadhead flight. If you use glue, it is the best fletcher out there for the money because of the time savings it offers with three at a time. However, with tape you can fletch with a normal single fletcher and ajdust the fletching how you want it and still do it faster than glue with the EZ Fletch. I never used one with tape, but I would guess that it would not work well, because the fletching slides a bit on most shafts before it locks into place.
I have had one for years and love it.as said it does not work well with tape but then I don't care for tape compared to glue anyway.I bought a blitz two years ago and did a dozen arrows with it and have not used it since. The only negative I could come up with for the ezfletch was a little more helical would be nice but for me not a neccessity.
I have an Ez Fletch and a Bitz. Prefer the Bitz by a wide margin.
I have an EZ Fletch that I've used for over 20 years. I love it and will continue to use it for the next 20 years, Lord willing.
I had one and didn't like it one bit. I bought a Jo Jan Mono Fletcher. The Jo Jan is light years better than the Arizona EZ Fletch IMHO.
