Ordering a bitzenburger but need help

[mikeboehm]

I shoot a pse omen pro and its pretty fast. I need help on what bitz jig to buy. Right, left, helical etc.. What would u recommend

[Bow Walker]

90% of people order 'right helical' clamps. 9% order straight clamps...........

Right helical will cause/help your arrows to spin clockwise right out of the bow.

Some people use a straight clamp and go with a slight 'offset' fletch - usually offset to the right.

I have found though, that trying to put a helical on short vanes like the Blazers is very hard with a full-sized clamp because the helical bend is set up for a regular 4" to 5" fletch - not the short little 2" or even the 1.5" Blazers. So it also depends on what fletching you intend to use on your arrows.

Hope that helps you make a decision.

[Bow Walker]

Oh yeah, if your arrow shafts are of the "skinny" variety - it's hell trying to put a helical on them. Short vane + skinny shaft = frustration.........solved by putting an offset to the fletching.

If you shoot Blazers get the straight clamp, which you can also do offset with both ways. Cheers Roscoe

yet to find a helico that shoots better than straight....for me
I have both clamps and use straight exclusively, but yes helico looks kinda cool

Thankyou. I ordered the straight clamp bitz. And i ordered a new clamp for my bohning 3degree helical blazer jig. Using that jig works very good for my short fusion vanes.

good for you , what arrows Mike ?

[mikeboehm]

Gold tip XT hunters

Goldtip expeditions for 3d and target

Great shaft choices Mike. I've been using GT shafts for over 15 years now.

You could use the Expeditions for hunting as well. Might save some $$$.

When I'm building arrows I always cut a bit off both ends - which enhances the straightness of the shaft. So the least expensive Expedition shaft ends up being as straight as the more costly shafts. Doing it that way has worked for many years for me.

I tried out my new bitzenburger today. Im very impressed with it. Actually easy to use. Not made of thin metal like the jojan or plastic like others. Buy it from bowhunters superstore for$69.99

Good on ya! It's a bit of a rush - building and shooting your own arrows. Kinda like tying your own flies and then catching a nice trout with them.
