    I swear I watch countless of UA-cam videos from well known archers and hunters. Not one of them get so in-depth as you do. I’m always researching and trying to get information yet never could find the specific answers to my question. Then your video pops up out of nowhere. You sir are a lifesaver. Every single video you post answers so many questions. Thank you so much man. Truly truly appreciate you for the information. I live in nyc but man if you were three hours from me I’d make it a point to only deal with your shop. Once again, thank you.

    I've been using the EZ Fletcher's for years, but just bought a bitzenburger with a straight and left helical clamp. I've watched 6 other videos how to properly set it up, and watching this kicking myself wondering why I didn't just watch this one first. You always has the best how to videos. Specifically how to adjust the the knobs left and right. Thanks again man!!!

    Just gotta say thanks for the great videos. I use to shoot a lot of local 3D and a little indoor back when I was younger but have been out of it for, well just say a few decades. I'm ready to have another go at it. Back then I was good friends and shot with all the guys that worked at my local archery shop which is 30MI away, nothing closer to me than that. Times have changed and so has the shop crew and I guess I feel on my own now. I always fletched my own arrows at the shop with Bitz jigs and spent a lot of time there. My arrows need re-fletched so I called and about sh!t at the charge to have a dozen arrows done. So for a little more I just ordered my own Bitz jig and will have the freedom of doing it myself. Like I said it's been a long time since I fletched and I was feeling a little nervous, but after watching your vid It all came back to me. Thanks, you do a great job of walking through everything and explaining it.

    This is the in depth, informative video I’ve been looking for. Thank for the video. One question though. I’m using a left helical clamp. If I move the top offset setting to the left, does that add more helical to the fletch? I only moved it a little like you suggested, but wasn’t sure if it added more helical.

  • @warrennel9593
    @warrennel9593 4 роки тому +2

    Have to respectfully differ regarding angles. The pitch of helical twist of eg. 12 degrees remains the same for whatever distance. The offset distance through travel will however increase over distance. Pitch of threads, propellers...anything with a helical twist is measured in either degree offset or travel per 1 revolution. Thanks for the great tips.

      Some people will mark the unfletched arrow on the top and then observe which way it wants to spin naturally. It’s easier to help it spin that way rather than force it to spin the other. Just my 2 cents.
