I'm hoping to start fletching my own arrows and i'm looking for advice/opinions on the various jigs and feathers available.  I'd like to be able to fletch blazers vanes, feathers, and flu flus. I'd also like to be able to fletch the arrow all at once rather than 1 feather at a time. Is there a jig that does it all or will i need multiple jigs? Help!!

yup all at once .though they dont put the cock feather in the right position for glue-on knocks.
i have an AZ EZ FLETCH. BUT USE my jo-jan multi-fletch, it does 6 arrows one fearthr at a time with fletch-tight platnium. is pretty quick .
form is everything! shoot well shoot hard.

There aren't too many jigs that do all the feathers at once. With that requirement you're limiting your choices quite a bit.
That may not be a bad thing, but there are lots of other jigs out there that work well.

if youre using a 4 fletch the EZ fletch will be ok, but i use 3 and use a bohning jig. setting one fletch at a time isnt so bad, after a minute most glues are set and i can move onto the next. i also make my arrows while im in between steps on other stuff so making them isnt all at once and so tedious.

Cabelas makes a jig where you can fletch all at once

If you use Bohning fletch tape you can fletch a dozen arrows in less than a hour even doing 1 feather at a time. Like others have said above, that will open up your choices in jigs.

Blazers and feathers?

Blazers usually work best when fletched straight with no helical. Feathers usually work best when fletched with helical.

Havent' heard of too many shooting Blazers...are you using an elevated rest of some sort?

thanks for all the input guys.  really appreciate it.  I am shooting with an elevated rest, but i don't shoot blazers with my recurve.  I am not a traditional only bow shooter so i also need something that is versatile that i can fletch all my arrows for my recurve as well as my compound.  Is there an easier way to find my post? it took me like an hour to find.
