Default Fletching jigs

I was thinking about picking up a fletching jig. I see some people going on about some of the plastic ones being ok. Cabelas has a few in stock so that equals free shipping.

Or do I just get a Bitzenburger and not have to worry about plastic junk.

It's not going to see much use. Unless I do some fletching for friends. It will be just for the boss and I. We just shoot targets. But might get into hunting in the future.

I picked up 12 arrows for myself and the shop fletched them for me. But I'd like to mess around with helical fletching.

So that means buying more metal clamps. $$$.

Most of what I've been seeing recommends left helical, but John Dudley likes right helical. So again more clamps. $$$.

What are you guys using/recommend? I don't mind buy once cry once. But I'm not rich either. I could do arrows for friends for a couple of bucks I guess?
