Looks good!
I've been fletching my own arrows for many years and find it a good way to relax and save a few $$$ in the process. It IS easy with the right equipment, and you used what I consider to be the best fletching tool available - the EZFletch. It is quick, and does a good job if you pay attention to the small details. (not bashing other tools, but I sold my Bitzenburger after using the EZFletch)

im thinking about trying the ez, but right now the bitz works fine for me
btw, arrows look sharp
The Bitz is a top quality fletcher and will allow a few things not possible with the EZFletch. I have used the adjustments on the Bitz to match factory fletching on arrows I owned - exactly. The Bitz will allow a very wide range of adjustment.
But.....
-It will only do one vane or feather at a time - requires 3 times the wait for a finished arrow.
-It requires a modified nock receiver for crossbow arrows.
-And how many times is all that precision really needed? Does it really matter if a fletching is 3.75º or 4º? As long as all 3 fletches are similar (same offset and evenly spaced around the shaft) the arrow will fly true in my experience.
Not knocking the Bitz by any means, they are a top quality precision machine! But the EZFletch will do a perfectly acceptable job quicker, easier, and less expensively - that's why I sold my Bitz and use the EZFletch exclusively.
BTW - The Arizona EZFletch is backed by a good warranty, too. I dropped mine and damaged it. Called Arizona and asked if I could buy parts to repair it. They told me to mail it back to them so they could match the parts and check it out. They returned a new tool to me quickly - and at NO charge!!!!!!!!

Now see..
Now that's what I mean. Good customer service..Was going to make another six with the helix right or are the blazer 2inch to small for that..??? The scale I bought won't zero out it says I need a calibration weight to zero it out.. that story of my life..ahaha on my way to the gun shop.. Crazy Farmer thats funny...(just like my bitzen because I can give each vane the magic kiss of death)

Re: Now see..
lol... like wabi said.. you can put you own special degree of offset on the vanes or match any factory setting..Bluefish024 wrote:Now that's what I mean.

the downside, is one at a time. But with goat tuff, mine are sealed in 10 seconds;) so it take sme roughly 1-2mins to do each arrow.
as long as you are happy, then nothing else matters;) well deer blood matters
Congrats
I use a CARTELL with excellent result fo xbow with mini blazer 1,5'' and 3ºinclinatin..
I also have a Browning helix dx for my selfbow arrows, quite good but red plastic cant give the right precision in making
