Fletching

[Gunswayne]

Left helical, right helical does it really matter or make a difference?

[Bisch]

Personal preference.

I am right handed and shoot right helical because that is what the arows I started with years ago had on them.

Some people say that one works better to keep your screw in points from coming loose, but I have tried both, and the points still come loose.

It makes a difference if you are using a single beveled broadhead. The helical needs to match the bevel.

Other than that, I am told it makes no difference.

[Phillip Fields]

I don't think it makes any difference, unless, as SwampRabbit says, you are using single bevel broadheads. I'm right handed and use left helical, primarily because when I started, left wing were more readily available.

The only reason I use left helical is because I got a really good deal on a left helical clamp for my Bitzenberger.

If you're planning on fletching your own arrows you will need to match the feathers to the fletching jig.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Yes it was... I laughed.

[SwampRabbit]

Be careful fellas... all this left wing and right wing talk might get the thread deleted

[Gunswayne]

Lol, thank you for your answers gentlemen.

[caughtandhobble]

That's not funny Ben. It was all I had. lol

And that could have been our little secret, lol

I prefer right wing helical because I shoot 4-fletch and I can get the feather to touch my nose for a second anchor point. I am right-handed...not that it matters.

That's good to know. I asked because I've always shot left helical and I mistakenly ordered a dozen with right. Thanks!
