Has any one used one of theese? I was thinking of getting one and using it on my XX75's. I am just looking for alittle feedback. Thanks.

My experience with it was not a good one, I took it back and bought a Blitz. Didn't secure down tight enough to allow good contact.

I always had a problem using them with feathers. Never could get it to work right. But i have heard others say they had no problems with them while using feathers.

I had one in the mid 80's and it worked really well, and wish I still had it.  The trick was not too much glue, and don't leave it clamped more than 10 minutes, and it worked fine.

Ive fletched hundreds of arrows w/mine and like Stringdancer says you cant use a ton of glue or it will stick to feather/shaft on sides and pull loose..never had any problem w/feather making contact..I think fast drying CA glue works best.

I have 2 (right and left) and never a problem. Quick and convenient.
The older I get, the better I was.

I have one. If you have a problem wiht the feathers not sitting right in the slot, rub the slot with string wax.
If you have a feather that will still not lay in the slot, use a piece of thread to tie it in place.

It takes a while to get the hang of messaging the feather into place. Waxing the slots helps.
Sometimes sliding the whole fletch down towards the nock helps to secure the ends of the feather. I use fast set gel. The degree of helical seems to be a good compromise between stability and quietness. I have used magnum 5.5 feathers and sheild cut 5 inch ones and usually have had good luck fletching both with the EZ Fletch. When things go right you can build a set of arrows that are identical in fletch and in quality, but some days nothing goes right!

I have found that longer feathers tend to not glue up as nice as short ones.
Just one more step please!

I've been using one for several years without any problems.  I like the fact that I can put on all three fletchings at once.  Sure speeds up the arrow building process.

My experiance with the Arizona EZ Fletch was so bad I threw it in the trash and bought a Jo Jan Fletcher. Don't waste your time and money on the Arizona EZ Fletcher. Just my 2 cents.

Wow, all over the board here. Thanks for the input.

I have used one for the last 16 years and love it. Never used another type of jig and have fletched countless arrows with it. Last year a bought a right wing one and the construction is not as good as the left wing one I have used for so long but still okay.

One of the things I really like about them is you can do 3, 4 or 6 winged arrows. It also is easy to do a splice design in them.

My vote is love it, if you can find an old one in good condition, even better.
