Zenith Archery Products has introduced a new, upgraded nock receiver for your Bitzenburger fletching jig. The replacement body will fit directly into your jig and will still adjust for all three different fletching patterns. The original receiver held the arrow only by a loose fit on the nock. Now, the new receiver comes with two inserts that are held into the body by a long screw that is tightened through the rear of the receiver and will hold the arrows directly. This helps prevent any slippage.
Features & Uses:
- One insert is sized to fit snuggly into any arrow that uses a G nock.
- The second insert uses pin nocks, holding the pin by the hole in the insert.
- It also does arrows that use super nocks (.246 carbon, Super Uni-bushings, etc.) by fitting the insert into the back of the arrow. If the pin holder becomes too loose, just gently squeeze the segments together with small pliers until it holds the pin tightly again.
- Included with this kit is an adjustable upper support plate that is mounted using the template and hardware. Once the arrow is mounted in the jig, the plate is adjusted to support the upper end of the shaft.
Limitations to Keep in Mind:
- This kit does not include a sleeve for X or H nocks. But, these are available as an option, if needed.
- Older arrows with glue on nocks can still be done using the old receiver. But, this will not work with crossbow bolts.
- There was a change in the design by Bitzenburger around 25 years ago, and this may not work with jigs older than that.
