A fletching jig is a tool used by arrow builders to attach feathers or vanes to an arrow shaft. The arrow is clamped into the device, and the feather or vane is pressed onto the shaft using a clamp that is usually held in place by magnets.

There are different fletching styles:

  • Straight
  • Offset
  • Helical

Offset or helical fletching is intended to improve stabilization by increasing the arrow’s natural rotation during flight.
