Nina,

Once you have your nocks on your arrow, you will fit the nock into the jig. The first fletching you put on your arrow will be your cock feather. What happens then is when you put your arrow on the string of your bow, your cock feather will be facing out. If there is a mark on your nocks to indicate the cock feather, simply rotate the arrow and start where the mark is. Hope that helps. Best of luck.

I just got this jig today and having difficulty finding instructions on how to set up the jig so the feather fletchings line up correctly. I got a left wing jig and left wing feathers on wooden shafts. I am trying to get the cock feather to line up with the marking on my bohning nocks

Jason,

The tape holds up very well. You can also put a little dab of superglue on either end of the fletching to secure it, but I stopped doing that a couple batches of arrows ago and never have a problem with the fletching coming off. Good luck.

I use super glue on vanes but I use it all the way down the length of the vane. I am new to fletching feathers and was going to use glue on them. Is it OK to use glue all the way down the length of the feather?
