Bohning Blazer Jig Hellx
We have a new product to
review.
I have been using Blazer veins on
and off for years and I have very good luck with them.
I
was very excited to see that Bohning has come out with a Fletching
Jig for the Blazer Veins.
This jig will put the Blazer veins on
your arrows for the best performance.
I have been fletching arrows for 20 years. I have done this for a living at one time and now I have been doing it for the enjoyment of it. I love fletching arrows because it gives me control over how my arrows fly. When you fletch for yourself, you have the option to move the veins up and down the shaft ¼ to a ½ an inch. This can move your weight forward point which could make your arrows fly better with broad heads.
The
Bohning Blazer Jig Hellx is a small and easy to use fletching jig.
It is designed to be used with the
Blazer Veins. This jig will allow you to easily install your Blazer
veins on your arrows for a cost of $38.00 to $51.00.
This may seem like a lot for a jig, but
when you think about the cost, it is cheaper than having it done by
a pro shop.
A hundred blazer veins cost $15.00 to
$20.00 dollars.
At a pro shop you may be between $2.50
and $4.00 dollars an arrow.
Fletch a dozen arrows on your own and
you will recoup the cost of the jig.
You can also recoup your cost faster by
buying bare shafts and putting on the veins yourself.
There are many reasons to
fletch your own arrows beside the cost.
You
can replace veins when they get damaged or simply discolored.
You can also change colors easily. This
jig allows you to strip and fletch your arrows at your convenience.

I’m
very impressed with how well my arrow flies after using the Hellx
fletching jig.
You can see by looking at the photo,
that I’m getting great groups with my arrows.
I’m getting a little more speed and a
lot more accuracy by using this jig to put on the Blazer veins.
The jig is so easy to use that you can
fletch an arrow in 15 minutes.
You simply put the vein in the vein
holder and put glue on the vein.
Then put the vein holder on the jig.
There are some down sides to this jig. First, it is can only be used with the Blazer veins. It has very few adjustments for different kinds of arrows. The part that holds the vein is made out of plastic. This means that it can be easily glued to the arrow by mistake. They have tried to correct this by putting a metal tape in the kit to put on the bottom of the vein holder. If you are planning on shooting other veins or feathers this is not the jig for you. If you are thinking about fletching for a group of archers this is not the jig for you. Everyone that you know may want to borrow your jig or ask you to fletch their arrows for them.
If you are only going to shoot the Blazer veins,
this jig will be fine for
you. This is also a cheap way to see if you want to fletch your own
arrows. As always, when looking for archery supplies you will find

Good luck,
