Helix RH clamp for BPE Pro arrow fletching jig (may suit other jigs as well) by spard001

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This fletching clamp was created for arrows up to 6.1 mm or 0.24" in diameter and for the BPE Pro fletching jig. Whether you shoot target outdoors or hunt, it is beneficial to use thinner arrows. It is designed for vanes up to 2" long, like the Blazer. It puts 2 degrees of right hand helix into the vanes. Helix produces better flight path than offset fletching. It may work with other fletchers as well but you may need to adjust the back angle of the clamp base so it can slide into position parallel to the magnet.
I created this because it was hard to adjust to the exact centre position of the arrow and needed to adjust different distances on the front and back of the clamp position. With this design the front and back are set to the same distance. The easiest way to set it up is to put an arrow in the jig, attach the clamp to the jig magnet. Loosen the front and back distance adjusting screws on the jig and hold it upside down allowing gravity to align the clamp to the arrow. Once it sits on the arrow slowly tighten the nobs and readjust if necessary and tighten it further until it is completely locked into position.
