Bitzenburger Clamp Adjustment

[Dirty]

Well with some time on my hands I have decided to finally put my Bitz to use. I am going to practice fletching up some arrows I have kicking around.

When you set up the clamp I understand that you adjust the dials to the point where there is proper contact being made. However, the confusing part is whether you are looking to make complete contact with the entire clamp on the shaft or whether you are just fitting a vane in the clamp and making complete contact with the vane.

My assumption is that you would do a dry run without a vane, and position the clamp so the entire clamp makes complete even contact. (I checked it against a light to see if there was any gap).

For clarity I am using the Right Hand Helical Clamp and 2" Blazers.

You got it right Dirty. The better contact the vane has with the shaft, the better it sticks.

You can also decide how much helical you get by adjusting the dials. Some broadheads require more stabilizing for good long range accuracy. But for retaining speed, the less helical [drag] the better.
