Wouldn't that just be from the amount of offset and not spacing ?
Paul, I set it for 1 degree. I can see one of the 3 spaces between vane bases is a little bigger. Not much, but a little. I could probably do better with the jig with more practice. Have to get it solidly mounted too. Very used to the Bitz after 20 years. Glad I found that after Jim sent me his, but this is good to have as a backup. I may (or not) give it to a local friend.
 
Still don't see how you calculate 1 degree. I've always eyeballed mine. But I have no idea of the Actual offset.

I think I may have forgotten your Burky Toxin is a enclosed barrel? If so, I can see how the spacing would be more critical.

Paul, on the Bitz, it is a guess. On the Bohning, it is marked (which I’m sure you know.)

I just set it half way between zero and 2 degrees for the Bohning. Also, as I told you, I could use more practice with the jig. If my recent arrows shoot well enough out of the Toxin, I can be finished fletching for a while. If not, who knows. I’m still undecided on whether the barrel and minimal offset is better than regular rail and more fletch control, especially since my other Burky bow is shooting great with those big 125 Ramcat diamondbacks. I’ve read over and over that the barrel is better. Personally, I need a lot more evidence. ;)
