RE: Might break down and start fletching.....
Do it, I started a few years back and really, really enjoy it. I did fletch some arrows recently with Blazers and Spray paint wraps. They turned out great and I had fun fletching them with the boy! I used the same jig I do for feathers, a Grayling Jig! No problems yet!

Never used their jig, but I recommend doing it.
I really enjoy it!
Not to mention you're not stuck w/ a bunch of damaged fletchings on your arrows, you just fix it.

Fletching is easy and a fun way to put a little of your own personality into your arrows..

Does it do more than Blazers? If not, don't limit yourself to it...though I'm not familiar with the jig in question.
I totally recommend the Bitzenberger!.

Get the Bitz! I got one last week after using a Jo-Jan for a year. It will do Blazers, feathers, or vanes. why limit yourself? I have really enjoyed making my own arrows up, even more so now that I've started cresting and capping.

It's fun........and very convenient to do yourself. Tear up some feathers or vanes just grab the jig and fix em up.
You could really go off the deep end like me with a bag full of wild turkey primaries, sand paper, 2 feather choppers, and not a clue what you are doing and try and make your own![:-]
In any event I also recommend the Bitz. Get all the clamps and nock receivers to match........ya only live once.
