Title: 4 Fletch w/ Bitzenburger
Post by: Sirius Black on November 09, 2012, 06:38:00 PM
I have a lot of 3" Trueflight feathers and am thinking about trying a 4 fletch arrow. I've got left and right clamps and nock recievers (the feathers are right wing) but do I need a certain reciever to do 4 fletch? I think mine might be the TM, but it doesn't say. I also see there are 2 different 4 fletches. Is one prefered over the other?  Thanks!

You need a 4 fletch receiver I have no idea which is better-it is purely a matter of personal preference. The one I used worked great I think it was the 4x90.

I have both the left and right recievers and they are both set up for 3@120-4@90 and 4@75x105degrees.

You do not need a special reciever to do 4 fletch. You do need to match reciever to clamp, ie; left with left or right with right. I have shot 4@75X105 and 4@90 and like the 4@90 best. I have been shooting 4 fletch since 1969 so I guess you could say I like it.

I've started using the 4x90 this year with my Bitz. Love the fact that you don't have to look see if the cock feather is up.Just load n shoot!  :archer2:

Agreed with iohkus...

I still find myself looking at the arrow before nocking it though....   :banghead:

There are index knobs R,T, BLANK.It's good to match the index or recieve which ever you call it, it the clamp.Got my last one from" The Nocking Point" give MIKE a call.Check  bitzenberger.com  I learned something!
Just my 2cents worth?   JOHN T.

If you have rotatable nocks, then it doesn't matter which indexing unit you use, because the only difference is how a fixed nock would be positioned relative to the fletching. If you use a left index with right wing feathers (or a right index with left wing feathers), then all you have to do is rotate a press-in, rotatable nock a few degrees to get everything lined up. Since you have a right clamp and right wing feathers, you are set to go, unless you use fixed, glue-on nocks. I like the 90 degree spacing best for 4 fletch too.

I tried the 4 fletch w/ 90* spacing, and the arrow came out great. Best of all it shot/flew great too! And it is kind of nice to just clip your arrow on the string and shoot, without looking at a cock feather. Thanks everyone!   :archer2:
