Most jigs come with a clamp that the fletching is placed in. The clamp that holds the fletching is applied to the arrow and the jig until the glue dries. Some jigs allow you to fletch an entire shaft at once; others allow one fletch to be applied at a time. Applying the clamp that is holding the fletching to the arrow and getting it in the right place can be tricky. Before putting glue on the fletching, place the clamp holding the vane onto the arrow while it’s in the jig. This allows you to get a feel of how the clamp lines up on the jig. Place your vane in the clamp so the rear of the vane will be between ½ and ¾ of an inch in front of the nock. Adjust your clamp inward or outward to get the amount of helical you desire. If you are using small broadheads, a slight amount of helical is all that’s needed. If you use larger broadheads, a more severe helical will be needed. When you understand how to apply the clamp to the jig, apply your glue to the fletching and put the clamp in place. The key to success when gluing on fletching is using enough glue so the fletch will stay on for a long time, but not so much so that you will have gobs of glue on your arrow. After your first vane is dry, rotate the arrow in the jig and repeat the process with the next vane.Once all of your fletching is glued on, it is time to glue in your insert. Use your prep tool to rough up the inside of the shaft. Roughing up the shaft will cause the glue to bond to the shaft with greater strength, reducing the chance of pulling out an insert when removing an arrow from a target. Next, put glue on the insert and glue it in. Before the glue dries, screw a broadhead into the insert and line up the vanes with the broadhead blades and let the insert dry in place. Having the vanes and broadheads aligned properly will result in a more accurate-flying arrow.
