hey guys this is nusensei today we're
going to do an archery product review i
don't normally do this but uh since i
got this recently i'm using it right now
it's not a good idea to go through what
i have this is the day cut
nexus fletcher jig you see here it comes
pretty much as is it comes with the uh
the jig itself it comes with the clamp
and it comes with seven instructions now
the decker jigs are made on dedicated to
chinese company
and then the tourists are having
really
bad instructions and this is no
exception thankfully
the jig is very self-explanatory so it's
very easy to use
now i bought this jig from arch supplies
in south australia and the cost was 61
australian dollars now that's a bit more
than a cheaper budget um but a bit
cheaper than some of the high-end
industrial jigs which you can get so
uh the first thing i notice about the
decade nexus is that it's very colorful
you don't buy jigs for color but just
the fact that it comes in this nice
chrome color and get them in different
colors i think there's red black and
blue um it's actually pretty fun to look
at i mean compared to the budget cartel
jigs which are like you know gray steel
sort of thing um the
nice bright colors are a big difference
now there are other key things here
firstly it's very easy to set up
basically just pull it up for use and
put it back down for storage um the jig
also has some very easy functions now
most jigs like the cartel g for example
if you want to uh
align the vein certain way you're
rotated through here clicks like that so
it's pretty easy to use
but if you want to adjust the aluminum
veins you have to adjust using these
small
screws here
the deco jig stands up because you can
actually have three preset
configurations
there's recurve 120 there's 90 degrees
which is used for four vein
alignments and there is the compound 120
and the only difference between the
recap and compound is the alignment of
the veins compound veins are aligned
differently to recurve veins but
effectively same thing so adjustment of
these things if you want to go if not
for compound arrows i'll flick the
switch to uh compound if i want to
switch recurve arrows i'll flick it to
recurve and that just changes the
the mechanism which um this particular
knob locks in that therefore you can
fletch the three veins quite easily the
other component is the clamp it's a
pretty typical clamp it clamps
and it slides into the jig as such
pretty easy
now the jig does have an advantage in
that you can change the alignment of the
vein so you can do that through these
two knobs there's one knob down here and
there's one knob up here you can see uh
on this side here there are marker
measurements and just barely see there
so you adjust that
and this so that if you want to have an
offset straight alignment they can do so
or you have a perfectly straight
alignment so let's try it out
what i'll be doing is i'll be reflecting
one of my ace i'm actually running
really low in ace i've got like five
left but um i've got a competition next
week and my x10s haven't arrived yet so
i'm going to press getting some really
old acs into service so i'm sticking my
acv into the jig there's a notch here
which you clip on and it stays on by
itself now the veins i'll be using are
vaintech swifts uh these were donated by
stephen hand from archery supplies so
thank you steven i've been having fun
these veins they're nice straightforward
veins it's a nice change from going from
spin wings or excess wings
they're nice too but having a plain
simple straightforward vein uh you know
these don't rip these don't tear rough
so it's really nice to go through these
and use them for my ace as a final one
farewell so i've got three of my uh red
veintech scripts and uh as i said before
the jig is configured on recurve 120. so
when i turn this jig it'll click into
place and give me easy chance to put the
veins on one at a time
i'm using a vt2000
fletching glue i'll put off there so
what i want to do is i want to grab this
clamp and
put the vein on now there are
measurements based on
exactly how far you want the vein to be
from the end of your arrow i'm going to
put it here this is what i normally do
just on the the zero part there so zero
to two that's enough for me and what
i'll do i'm going to grab the glue i'm
going to put a bead of glue onto the
vein
like that oops
and then
very simple we just slide the
vein onto the shaft
and i missed it there we go
and then it just presses on like that
that's basically it it's not
particularly hard it's not rocket
science and you leave it there
and you leave this around 10 seconds
that way the glue has a chance to adhere
adhere to the shaft or the wrap in this
case and once you're done you pick it up
and then you rotate so let's say it's
done
10 seconds here close enough we'll
remove the clamp there we go there's the
vein and then we'll rotate uh it clicks
to the next spot
put the next vein in
there we go same spot
put a bead of glue
i do like the the bottles that uh vantec
uses
um the fletch titles were good but i
found the two to be a little like
toothpaste tubes like um i just find
that the bottles are easy to use and
there you go just leave it there for
around 10 seconds now do try to avoid
getting glue on your on your skin it
does kind of stick that's not very
pleasant
but shouldn't be very hard
do make sure that we're not using glue
you put the cap on there's a cap here
and sometimes the glue will be dry in
the actual tube in that case just
reverse the lid and use the needle in
the lid to pop the um the glue again um
so that's been around 10 seconds we'll
remove that
we'll rotate one more
put the next vein in
put a bit of glue on
and then slide it into the jig
like that and there are magnets on this
jig by the way um you don't really see
them here but there are magnetic clamps
on the other end so if you slide it in
it clicks in fairly nicely i do know
that some people have been using this
jig
they have found that it's not uh it's
not the um
the the fit isn't as as tight as other
jigs um it's a bit loose and hard to put
in sometimes i didn't find to be a huge
problem i found this to be a very easy
to use very functional jig
it definitely does the job and it does
cost a little more than the cartel jigs
and other cheaper jeeps um
but i do like what it is it's colorful
it's bright it sits nice on your desk on
your workbench
and it definitely does the job um i mean
i i use decades for some products like
my string jig
they're kind of crude sometimes but they
definitely do the job in this case we'll
remove the other clamp
you can remove the arrow and we'll fold
the jig down you'll see it defaults
nicely and there's the fletching done
it's really easy again for those of you
who are kind of a little
anxious about making your own arrows
it's a good skill to learn
you will go through many veins and
arrows in your career so knowing how to
fletch your arrows is very important
it's worth buying a jig and again some
people are very
apprehensive of bargain jig and they
want to borrow jigs from the the club or
from other archers now these aren't that
expensive and they're really good ones
are like 100 bucks um but even a
straightforward jig like the day cut
nexus they did a job around 50 to 60
australian dollars which is around 40 to
50 us dollars and you can basically fit
your arrows all day and i want to do a
center variance but later on uh but the
point is that's the the decade nexus
again very simple to use uh it just
rotates click click click and click um
then you set it through three different
settings really easily the recurve the
compound and the four vein 90 degree
settings um and you put it away quite
easily so overall i'm pretty happy with
this jig i mean this if you've used jigs
before this isn't particularly special i
don't really rank it higher and lower
than other jigs it does have the nice
features switch between three preset
configurations so it is quite useful um
but otherwise the main appeal is easy to
use
bright and colorful
and yeah that's the thicket nexus anyway
this is nusensei hope you found this
interesting uh thanks for watching i'll
see you next time
