GT Arrow Fletcher, Brown

I purchased this High Quality Fletching Jig originally last Year, I fletched 4 dozen Crossbow Bolts (20" and 22"), I had a lesser jig that was a PITA to keep clean and keep my High End Vanes accurately at 120 degrees apart. I had seen a fellow bow hunter use another - Much more expensive- Jig with the same results. Being an "Heirloom Quality" Custom Woodworker for 38+ years I knew that a better jig had to be out there in the "Masses of Crossbow accessories", I read the reviews about this "Goat Tuff" Jig and after looking at pictures and directions, I thought it was the best thought out design and ordered the 1st one. I recently made a "Spline Indexing Jig", since I wasn't very pleased with the grouping of my newly built bolts (Golt Tip Nitro and GT Ballistic Pro)- I received the dozen bare shafts (GT Nitro's) and couldn't find all my Fletching Jig parts- It works so well and super easy to clean, I wasn't going to try another style, SO- I ordered another "Goat Tuff"- I thank everyone who wrote the reviews I read, all who put pictures online, and to Amazon for keeping such a well made and cost effective necessary tool for all of us "Backwoodsmen" who build our own Bolts and Arrows

There is a lot that I like about the jig. Sits flat so you don't have a big glue mess. Slots are built in to change the length between your nock and vanes. Comes with the attachment to do 3 or 4 vanes per arrow. Very simple to use and is a big time saver. It comes with the guides to do different helical degrees. There is just one drawback. You have to be very careful when using it because the guide will swivel on your nock throwing one vane off from the others. Overall, it's a very good jig. Trust me, I have used others. My last one about had me pulling out hair if I had any! Trying to get your glue and fingers in a very tight space and making a total mess! And it was very hard to clean! This one however, is very simple and easy to clean. I had 6 arrows done in no time.

I don't normally write reviews, but this thing is exceptional. I have owned an Arizona EZ-Fletcher for years. It got the job done, but I've always stuck to aluminum arrows because I only had the one model (they have different models for carbons and aluminums). The GT fletcher solves that problem. Because of it's design, you can fletch any diameter arrow. So now I can continue to re-fletch my existing aluminums while switching over to carbons, and even do different diameter carbons for different bows.Another problem the Arizona Fletcher had was the offset/helical was fixed. You had to buy a 1 degree offset for compounds, and then a helical twist for traditional. If you shoot carbons and aluminums, that's 4 different fletchers you would need ($200 at $50 a pop). You also cannot adjust the distance from the fletching to the nock. The GT fletcher comes with a several offset pieces that set into the jig (1/2 degree, 1 degree, 4 degree), all of which can be adjusted to be further away from the nock.The process for fletching doesn't take long at all. I'm not very fast, and I can still do 1 complete arrow in under 5 minutes.So the GT fletcher gives lets you fletch any type/size arrow with a wide degree of adjustability for under $50. Don't even consider another fletcher.

The best jig I've used, simple, easy to use and works perfectly...even the 3 degree makes full contact. Seemed pricey for a few plastic parts but after use is worth every penny and it should last forever cause there are no wear parts

Avid archer for 40 years. Fletched many arrows. My main jig is a Blitzenburger, but I wanted something to put in my tool box for the range or hunting trips.About the only good thing I can say about this jig is that it fit in my tool box.Pros...None.Cons...The arrow indexer that allows you to fletch at equal spacing, 3 at 120 degrees, does not work.It will get the vanes close, but there is too much wiggle room, if you dont physically hold it in place the vanes will not be spaced evenly around the arrow. ANd even if you do hold it in place, the vanes will still not be evenly spaced.The indexer also plays a part in the spacing of the vanes from the nock to the distance you place them. Again if you dont physically hold it in place, the spacing will be all over the place.The two plastic clothes pin like things that are supposed to hold the arrow in place as the adhesive sets are a joke. Constantly flying off, causing the arrow to roll away from the vane nest, & the springs inside them wont stay in place.The arrow indexer will not align with your cock vane. No matter how you place the indexer, the one different colored vane will not line up with the nock unless you twist the nock manually.It is impossible, and believe me I tried, to fletch only one vane if an arrow has only one damaged.Sometimes you will have an arrow that has only one vane damaged. With my Blitz, or other jigs, you can replace the damaged vane, and it will align with the other two that are left.Not this one. The indexer is a very poor design. It will not allow you to replace just one vane and have it perfectly spaced from the others.I have had this jig for several years. Tried to make it work on several occasions.It just doesnt. Waste of money. One of, if not the worst jigs I have ever used.Take my advice, coming from someone who has fletched hundreds if not thousands of arrows, it just doesnt work.

I used this tool to fletch a lot of arrows. It works pretty good for what it is. It's a bit of a challenge to keep all of the plastic parts free of glue. I am primarily a traditional Archer and I would like to use feathers that are longer than this tool will allow. It definitely has its limitations but it does work nice for putting 4-inch or shorter plastic vanes on arrows.
