Hi there,, Actually I saw a video at Arizona EZ fletch site (or somewhere) that instructed how to make 4 fletch arrows. You can stick your nock in and twist it and put 1 fletch at the time until 4 is done.
Lots of helical is great at close range or with a heavy arrow, but there IS a point at which it will cause pinwheeling due to over-rotation energy becoming too dominant as velocity slows. This effect becomes super obvious when you shoot recurve with feathers, so I always design an arrow for a specific purpose (I'm sure you do too).
Love my LCA jig. Hands down THE best jig on the market..for a bench top jig. I should have bought one years ago and saved a few hundred purchasing wanna be's. Cheers, MFJJ!!
Yes. I have the AZ easy fletch and it’s awesome out to 60 yards. After that grouping is much more difficult. Maybe it’s me as the shooter, but if I shoot 80-100 yds you can see arrows parachute
Whats your experience shooting helical into the wind? Does it affect the arrow flight compared to shooting it with no breeze at all? I just have a straight clamp and run an offset.
My Friend JJ! Do you sell the Zenith Bitzenburger Upgrade Kit? I could not find it on the website. The Bitz is well priced at 90$, and with 99$ shipping that’s a great deal! Also-does Arizona E-Z Fletch make a left and/or right helical for larger (target) shafts? If so-do you sell them? Thanks for the help!
Hey Josh, do they make screw in arrow insert for broad heads that are left hand thread direction? To accommodate for left helical arrows.. That would be the " cats ass.."
Noted you didn’t review the Bohning fletching tower Just wondering why I use it and find it great You buy different arms for off set right or left straight or right or left helical I’m running 3 degrees of helical on my Carbon Injexions Shoot great
Any idea why mine don't close equally on the mini max? I've tried 2 different jigs and when I go to close the clamp there's always the same 2 vanes that are closer apart than the other. I'm mechanically inclined but I'm having a hard time and I'm totally new to archery too so go easy on me lol.
MFJJ what do you think of my jig , the BOHNING PRO CLASS AND IM THINKING OF GETTING THE 99 DOLLAR COMPLETE TOWER KIT BY BOHNING , WHATS YOUR HONEST TAKE ON THESE PLEASE BROTHER AND EVERYONE ELSE !
So courious. My bow shoots 300 fps and it is shooting bullet holes. I am using the 300 spine victory rip arrows. With fixed broadheads my arrows drop about 6". I was just courious if my bow is shooting too fast for fixed blades and should I turn it down to 60lbs so it shoots slower. My arrows are 470grns. Just courious on your thoughts
I have been wanting to do my own fletchings and as you mentioned in your video I checked my arrows rotation and it does rotate to the left. It’s almost impossible to find an Arizona jig with a left helical. I have seen plenty online for right helical, would you recommend buying a right helical jig?
Is the MiniMax Left specifically the one to go for over lets say the pro? I noticed they have a decent amount of options on their website and I always suffer from overchoice haha.
What size vanes is MFJJ using? Just picked up an Arizona Carbon EZ Fletch and I'm not getting as much "helical" twist to them. Only using 2" vanes though and can't really tell if his are 4".
You can only get so much helical on a blazer style vane. The helical gets significantly more pronounced on a longer vane. 2” high profile vanes offer inherent stability because of their profile, but you will have to experiment if a lower profile longer vane with hard helical is equal/better/worse for your setup. You may have to use 4 low profile to achieve the same stability as 3 blazers.
Recently bought the blue mini max helical jig and noticed it places the vanes fairly far away from nock. Do you experience any adverse affects from this?
Try using a sharp blade to carefully lift each end of the vane, and then wedge the blade between the vane and shaft and give the blade a twist (while pulling up on the vane) to lever the vane off. If its stuck really good you might wanna try running the very tip of a razor blade down either side of the vane to partially lift the vane off before you try the first technique I mentioned - what I mean is, try this technique to "break the seal" along the edge/length of the vane where it meets the shaft. Practice makes perfect, so constantly re-fletch your crappy arrows (try different vanes while you're at it - you'll learn a lot by doing that).
Will the primer pen work with anyone's vane and make them adhere better? Never used a primer pen with my blazers and don't have many failure to stick problems.
Primer pen is only necessary for vanes with a urethane base. You don’t have to use them for blazers but you can just not necessary. However vanes like aae max stealth tac etc you need them. Aae hybrids I’m pretty sure tells you NOT to prime them. Hope this helps
So.figured out why you need the mini to get the strong helical. I have the pro which, explains why I don't get the strong helical as it's designed for 4-5" vanes. The mini is for shorter vanes.
@@caninphx damn it I had the exact same concern mine are very minimal helical it's barely notable...I'm using aee max stealth 2,6"...Guess I need the mini then 🤦♂️
Mfjj is the man. Completely changing the way I look at archery with the tech content
Josh is the man. From Washington to Central New York State three days shipping thanks Josh
Really enjoy you videos very informative becoming my go to source when I’m having bow issues
this is one of the best presentation i have seen, thanks
MFJJ...I'm loving your Hog hat bro! WPS!!!

Nice razorbacks cap! I’m 1.5hrs from UofA! Thanks for the info! I’ll go to your site and order a true helical.
Just a year ago 5k subscribers! Fast forward a year 20K.
Awesome let's GO!
Congratulations Brother!
I know this is an oldie but I love your videos. You just re-a firm my own opinions as well! Love it. 😂

Thank for the demo. Strangely there aren't a lot of these on TH-cam.
As always, love the information that you provide.
I need to order that A-Z fletching jig . I have wanted one for a while guess it’s time .
You can do 4 fletch on a ez fletch but you have to do one vane at a time.
I use my ez fletch all the time to do 4 fletch using the cock vane slot.
OMP Phoenix Fletching Jig!!!
Test it Test it Test it!!!
Does it do Helical like the Mini Max ???
Loving this . I'll be getting one
Thank you so much for sharing this great information God's Blessings
Thanks buddy great video! 👍👍
Great video Josh! Thanks for the info.
Hey bud been enjoying your videos quick question How's your shipping to Scotland?
awaiting that arrow build video =)
Thanks for this, looking to get into fletching my own stuff and this answered all my questions. Woo Pig!
Can to much helical cause your arrow to parachute? Or become inconsistent?
Yes. I have the AZ easy fletch and it’s awesome out to 60 yards. After that grouping is much more difficult. Maybe it’s me as the shooter, but if I shoot 80-100 yds you can see arrows parachute
Whats your experience shooting helical into the wind? Does it affect the arrow flight compared to shooting it with no breeze at all? I just have a straight clamp and run an offset.
How much of a difference is there with 4 fletchings vs. 3?
can i use yellow color? some "specialists" says elk see yellow...
My Friend JJ!
Do you sell the Zenith Bitzenburger Upgrade Kit? I could not find it on the website. The Bitz is well priced at 90$, and with 99$ shipping that’s a great deal!
Also-does Arizona E-Z Fletch make a left and/or right helical for larger (target) shafts? If so-do you sell them?
Thanks for the help!
Hey Josh, do they make screw in arrow insert for broad heads that are left hand thread direction?
To accommodate for left helical arrows..
That would be the " cats ass.."
Razorbacks!!! WPS!! MFJJ repping Arkansas.
So my shaft is spinning left. So I need left fletch? Then, do you suggest a 3 °? I have a Biscuit. This time around.
Noted you didn’t review the Bohning fletching tower
Just wondering why I use it and find it great
You buy different arms for off set right or left straight or right or left helical I’m running 3 degrees of helical on my Carbon Injexions
Shoot great

What glue/epoxy do you recommend for installing inserts?
Hey mate. Do you guys ship to Australia? I'm after the TRUE HELICLE

What I did is I bought the right helical jig and then separately bought just the left helical arms

Do you have any tips on how to get the spacing of the fletchings correct with the ez fletch? It seems like 50% of the arrows I've done come out wrong.
Not running any wraps? Do you have a trick for scraping off vanes w/out scratching carbon? Or just never change vanes? Thx.
Try using a sharp blade to carefully lift each end of the vane, and then wedge the blade between the vane and shaft and give the blade a twist (while pulling up on the vane) to lever the vane off.

please excuses my noob questions left and right helical make a difference if you are left or right handed?
Left or right is how your arrow comes out of the bow. Most bows are left including mine. Search clocking arrows.
You need to ship to Canada I can’t find the mini max up here and vanes are hard to find!
You pay the freight and we will ship it
Great info !
Great Video Josh,, did that Spartan you hang around with give you the mullet cut? Rock on
Will the primer pen work with anyone's vane and make them adhere better? Never used a primer pen with my blazers and don't have many failure to stick problems.
We use them when we do blazers. It does help
Primer pen is only necessary for vanes with a urethane base. You don’t have to use them for blazers but you can just not necessary. However vanes like aae max stealth tac etc you need them. Aae hybrids I’m pretty sure tells you NOT to prime them. Hope this helps
Just now seeing this vid. You have to check out Mold-Z glue from Triggered archery.
I already bought the bitz with a left clamp, but am super envious of that ez fletch. I’ll just have to keep working it to get more helical next batch.
Great video thank you!
BPE Pro Series right !!! $60 bucks!
Can the EZ Fletch do a stronger helical than the Bitzenburger?
Yes, it's near double
Yes. It’s 6 degrees
I don't seem to get that much helical out of my ex Fletch jig. Hmm.
So.figured out why you need the mini to get the strong helical. I have the pro which, explains why I don't get the strong helical as it's designed for 4-5" vanes. The mini is for shorter vanes.
@@caninphx damn it I had the exact same concern mine are very minimal helical it's barely notable...I'm using aee max stealth 2,6"...Guess I need the mini then 🤦♂️
Good info. Thanks
Just found you from Elk
Go Hogs!
Love the Razorback cap #WPS
Will the Arizona jig accept the Easton 5mm FMJ?
Yes
i have done a 4 fletch on an arizona ez fletch tool
This is a old vid but got to shout out the Razorbacks hat! Go hogs!
The Arizona does 4 vanes
Question for JJ: Do you bother moving the fletch up the shaft to prevent contact with the beard? I'm guessing that's not possible with the EZ?
MFJJ get that hat off and show us the mullet baby!!!!
I love your videos but you got on that Arkansas Razorback hat why?! #GIG’EM
👍🏻
I wish they'd come out with an ez fletch that accepts feathers 😒
Dude, Hogs fan?! Woo Pig!
Vane Master Pro has no equal if you like to tinker.
