I tried with a piece of wood marked equally, but found if fiddly and awkward to fletch with lots of cuss words, as you have to keep the feather in place untill the glue dries. A fletching jig is way easier, put the arrow in the rest, clamp the feather in the detatchable metal clip, glue and then place on the arrow. The clip is held in place magneticly. give it a minute for the super glue to set and remove the clamp, turn arrow the set turn and repeat. it really is'nt that hard, my desription may not do it justice.
