Abstract
An inventive fletching jig alignment device suitable for aligning a fletching jig assembly, and thus a fletching component to a shaft component of an arrow, comprises a base assembly, an adjustment assembly and a fletching assembly. Preferably, the alignment is accurate to within 0.01 inch or less. In some embodiments, the inventive fletching jig alignment device comprises a plurality of fletching assemblies, wherein the alignment configuration of each fletching assembly can be adjusted simultaneously. Accordingly, in such embodiments, a fletching component can be aligned to a plurality of arrow shaft components simultaneously. The invention also provides a method for aligning a fletching jig assembly.
