The fetching is what makes an arrow an arrow so the jig to jig to apply the

fetching must be extremely accurate as well. This jig is extremely easy to

make and takes only about an hour if your taking ur time. Plus it only costs
about 10$ to make if you dont already hae the materials.

-( . suggest buying + or / of the same si0e incase something happens to one.
x+ 112,11+ inch pieces of wood /,2 inches wide by -,) inches tall
1 piece of wood cut as long as your &chip clip& minus the thickness of your
pieces from 3+ 'ie if my pieces are 112 inch each and my chip clip is ) inches
long my piece should be cut - 11+ inches long( and as wide as your pieces of
wood from 3+4 this piece should be /12 inch thick or thicker
a hack saw or jig saw
a drill or a dremel
wood screws 11+,1 inch long
wood glue
sand paper 50,1-0 grit will do
pencil and markers
tape measure or ruler and a protractor 'optional(
a scrap of wood + inches long and 115 to /11) thick no more than 11+ an
inch wide4 or a door shim.
6tart by taking your + pieces of wood from 3+ and measuring the center4
length wise 'ertically( and drawing a line in pencil.
7easure + inches down the line and make a mark. 7easure the thickness of
your chip clip and diide the measurement in half.
8rom your center line measure that diided distance oer on each side of
your line giing you the thickness of your chip clip perfectly centered.
9raw a box using your diision lines and your mark + inches down.
8rom your bottom line measure /11) of an inch down on your center line. #ow
connect the + bottom corners of your rectangle to this center mark forming a
triangle at the end of your rectangle. This is the slot that holds your arrow
shaft and the retangle is the slot for the chip clip aka your clamp to slide into.
#ow cut out the rectangle and triangle :;T<:7:=! carefully.
<epeat this process on the second board from 3+ and sand both until they
are relately smooth to the touch and round the corners so you do not risk
stratching your arrows.
Take >oard 3/ and sand the top and bottom 'when holding the board
ertically(.
9rill or dremel + holes in both of your boards from 3+ on the side opposite
your slots. These holes should be a tiny bit smaller than your screws and
should be half the distance away from the edge as board 3/ is thick 'if my
board 3/ is /12 inch thick then my holes should be /15ths from the edge(.
These holes should also be in about e?ual thirds on the board '11/ from the
edge and 11/ from eachother(
Put a strip of wood glue on the top and bottom edges of board 3/ and screw
the 3+ boards on either end4 taking care that eerything is s?uare.
This is your jig@ #ow you hae to mark it so that your fetchings are e?ual
distant away from each other.
Ahoose one end of your jig and place your protractor on the point of the
triangle. #ow mark out the angle of either thirds or fourths ect. '. hae neer
seen more than - fetchings on an arrow but you can try if you like(. .f you
choose to mark more than one ie. you want thirds and fourths just make sure
you use a diBerent color. .f you do not hae a protractor you can use an
already fetched arrow or something diided into thirds or fourths already '.
hae used the plastic circle piece that come in pi00as with / legs before(.
Take your scrap piece and sand it or cut it to a *ne taper 'turning your piece
into a large triangle( or cut the shim to meet the dimentions on 311.
!ou are now done. !our arrow must hae a knock already attached to fetch it
and before you begin fetching wedge your wood piece from 311 in the
knock. Then simply place your shaft in the triangle and turn the shaft until
the wood piece is een with one of the lines you drew4 clamp your fetching
eenly in you chip clip and place a thin line of glue on the groe of your
fetching4 lower the chip clip into the slots until it is touching your shaft. 6ome
glues need some pressure to apply properly to do this put + loose rubber
bands around your jig before you begin fetching4 put your shaft through the
rubberbands and after applying your glue stretch them around your chip clip
then place it in your slots. . also like to put a tighter rubberband around both
ends of my jig holding down my shaft so that it canCt moe while im fetching.
%fter fetching one fetching turn your shaft so that the wood piece in your
knock rotates around to the next line 'this turns your shaft perfectly one
thirth or fourth ect. so that all your fetchings are eenly spaced(. 7ake sure
that you leae an inch or more between your knock and your fetching and
that it is consistent among all your arrows4 . like to measure and mark my
arrows in pencil before fetching.
.f you are working with delicate feathers or you *nd that the chip clip is
messing up your fetching4 coer the teeth of the clip with duct tape and1or
take the sping oB the clip and bend it a tiny bit weakening it.
