I have the VMP and Jo-Jan multi station. Love the VMP not so much the JJ. Yes, it's expensive but no comparison in ease of use and quality of out come. I like to tinker with different vanes and helical. With the VMP its just alot easier and you dont need different clamps. I can fletch 5" vanes and then Blazers without doing anything extra. The Bitz I have never had but it been around a long time so I assume its a good jig too. Never tried 4 fletch but I think I will sooner than later. You need the 4 fletch knob for the VMP and there is 2 different ones. Not sure which one would be best.

Best is personal decision. I've the Jo-Jans (4 of them) and a old Martin. All can be changed to do a 4 fletch.

To have any jig give good fletching the operator is the Man. Most all problems with fletching is operator error.......

Exactly, the best depends who you ask. I’ve done a lot of four fletch on a Bitzenberger. It’s the best for me, cause it’s what I have.

The Bohning Multi Fletch jig is the best I have used for 4 fletch if you like a good helical.

The VMP jig is the best all around jig made and the most versitile.

I have a Bitz, Bohning Blazer Helix, Bohning Multi Fletch, Arizona EZ, Goat Tuff and a VMP.

The Bitz and Goat Tuff collect dust. Not a fan of either one.

Would you be kind enough to fletch some identical arrows with both jigs ans shoot some scores to see if there is any improvement?

No need. Been there done that.

I have a Bitzenburger but still prefer my VMP. To me it is just a lot more consistent from arrow to arrow.

Trolling? No, but I would have said it differently. Like; No one here using the VMP can prove it gives more accuracy than any other jig.

Go back to when Lancaster hyped the VMP. Said it improved, BUT Read, Left group fletched to natural rotation. Right group fletched against the natural rotation. These two groups were shot by a Pro giving of the VMP making the difference.

I had just quit shooting Outdoor and Field - just wasn't worth prepping for 2 events a year when I could 3D every weekend. 15 years ago I shot these groups.
Fletched against the natural rotation and using a 30 year old Martin jig. Black dot 5 shots, 3 in the dot.
