Does anybody use one? how do you like it?
I was talking with Larry and Grant Whiffen this past weekend about the jigs and all the other stuff they used to make and offer. Very cool piece of our archery history is the Whiffen Company. I saw a bow that had the Whiffen name on it but looked like a Howatt,Very cool bow.
I was looking for some insight on the Jigs as It has been years since I used one.
Thanks.
Chuck

The Whiffen Comet is the same as the Hoyt Pro Hunter.  Probably my favorite re-curve of that era.  I like shooting the Whiffen better cause most people don't know about it     See ya at Denton Chuck...tippit

Yep, Still using their fletching jig. Have been for years. Well built and about as simple as you can get--1Longbow

Should have those feathers today or tomorrow.  I'm guessing this is what you'll be using.

i have a whiffen jig. dad has had it as long as i can remember. i've always wondered about it as i've never heard of whiffen archery. cool to know that other people have them.

Chuck, I have a new one, still in the box, it's yours if you want it, Just send me your address.

I sill have my first. I think I got it when I was 12 back in 1955. Whiffen also made the popular Bodkin heads in the day.

Thanks Snufer,
And the rest of you fine folks.
I really like old vintage stuff

Any other thoughts or comments?
I really enjoyed my talks with Larry jr. and Grant. They are some nice guys.

Snufer came thru like a champ! I got the jig today and it looks real nice. It is a "jr." jig. I must have used the pro model years ago,it was brass the jr is alum. Thanks again Les.
I posted this question on the history forum and some pretty cool pictures showed up. Have you ever seen a Qiffer or a Whiffreel?

Misplaced the one I had as a teenager.  Bought a new one in the early 80's.  It's the only brand of fletching jig I've ever used.  Still works perfectly...Van

Looks cool Van, How do you fletch? helical,off-set or???

That one above has a helical left wing clamp.  My previous one had a straight clamp and I offset it as far as possible.  Don't even think they had helical back then  :p  ...Van
