OMP fletching jig

[CoWapiti]

Well, a little disappointed with bowhunters superstore. Just got a message from them informing me that they are sold out of the jig w/ right helical clamp, despite the fact that I placed my order when they showed 1 in stock and then checked immediately after ordering and it said out of stock, so I assumed I successfully ordered the last one. They offered me a straight or a left helical. But, they also currently show that they have the right helical clamps available for individual purchase, so I asked them if they can just include one of those and fulfill my order correctly. We will see.

OMP was over a year late on the release. Lancaster is back ordered for what seems like forever. OMP hasn’t really addressed it. I sent an email about availability and got a short snippy answer. I hope you get it soon but it may be a while.

This. They told me on the phone dealers were going to get their shipments first as it was a year behind on production / delivery and then the public would get them. I had my order with Lancaster for 8 months and asked to have it refunded. When I see it on shelves at scheels or elsewhere i'll buy one. Until then you will continue to wait with BS timelines. They first told me it would be 2 months and then it turned into 8 and then they had no idea. Do not trust what they tell you because they have no idea either. I asked for the refund and received it but that was 5 months ago, so if your having issues now its likely I still wouldn't have the one in hand I placed an order for over a year ago.

Well folks, I just got some news in from OMP, they have a shipment come in that will be filling the back orders currently in the system. They have a second order coming in that should be available early December. Allegedly. Happy hunting!

Yeah right. Do you know how many times they have told people that that call them including me. I placed my order a year ago and got tired of the BS excuses and canceled it 5 months ago. Sounds like the same old song and dance from OMP. They didn't have the product when they launched it and shot themselves in the foot. Now they are trying to play catch up and fill dealers orders first and then the general public according to their supply person. I hope people start getting them. I wont buy one until its at my local shop and I can fondle it to the register.

Reads like another great example of a company selling a product when they’re relying on someone else to actually do the manufacturing of the product.

Thanks for your insight, I hope you’re wrong but I guess we’ll see.

Podium archery shows some in stock now. After some less than favorable customer service from bowhunters superstore I placed an order with podium.

That’s who I ordered from they did say they have a shipment coming in I guess we’ll see if it ever comes in or not.

Hope you get a shipping notification soon!

At this point I wouldn’t order anything from OMP. I have had to cancel my order twice from different dealers on this jig because omp continues to make promises they never meet. I wouldn’t give a company like that my money. If something is wrong with the jig you’ll be many months getting resolution. Two years now they have been playing games with dealers and customers. They’ve burned the bridge with me no matter how cool of a product it appears to be.

Man, maybe I should treat this order like my suppressors, order it and just forget about it until I get the call.

I feel that as well brother. I hope I'm wrong at this point too, because I'd like one as well.

I hope I'm wrong too as I'd like one in my hands just as much as the next guy. Tried for a year and mine showed in stock with the store too. After I paid I got an email stating it was backordered and then the 8 month wait began before I said screw it I'll wait until I see it on a shelf locally.

Good luck. Looks like a slick system. The one thing I didn’t like about my Last Chance jig is inability to do helical, only offset. I like a strong helical and this looked like it would serve that purpose and seemed to fix the issues I had with the bitz.

Since then I bought three of the EZ Fletch and don’t think I’ll ever use anything else. I can fletch three dozen arrows in under an hour by rotating through them.

Doing three vanes at once has made that part of the process so much easier. Also bought the drill bit squaring tool recently and wow, that’s the best thing I’ve ever found.
