Great video! It is cool how you pick up a few little tricks when you watch a pro!

I've used a Grayling for a while now and it produces good results. I have been wanting to try one of the BearPaw jigs too.

The thing I have found with the Grayling is that when you are using skinny shafts it's difficult to get the clamp to make good, solid contact with the area of the shaft where the feather is going. I often have to push down on it with my free hand while holding the jig steady with my other.

Does the grayling fletch helical?

b44mag · April 27, 2011, 06:30:00 PM

now thts a feather twist for sure rob nice.
i think ill like the grayling.
might have to get a burner. i thought i would just buy shield cut and use full length for fluflus but that was cool how the burner works.

Nala · April 27, 2011, 07:01:00 PM

Yeah it'll fletch helical.

woo hoo it showed up today
boy ill say that 4in. parabolic feathers are small. i think ill wait till my 5in. chopper comes in to make feathers for the wood arrows and save the 4in. feathers for carbon and aluminum arrows.

look bigger on a screen than they do in your hand don't they.

b44mag · April 28, 2011, 02:58:00 PM

boy do they ever i will know next time

Zradix · April 28, 2011, 03:02:00 PM

Do a four fletch.

Quite a few guys here do 4-4".

Just an idea.

Pokerdaddy · April 28, 2011, 07:21:00 PM

Just recently bought a grayling for my first fletcher. Love it!

Started with a straight clamp with 2d offset. Have since bought both the left and right clamp.

The performance and price are great.
