Default Does your arrow spin in flight?

Simple question.....

Does YOUR arrow spin in flight?

After you vote......post how your vanes are placed on your arrow.

Helical

I said yes, but actually meaning that my arrowsrotate aroundtheir longitudinal axis. Unlike 0% FOC arrows that could spin end over end. [8D]

Yes, they all do. How much is reflective of the fletching style, and how much helix and offset and all that stuff. Unless I'm mistaken, the revolutions an arrow makes at 20 yards is surprisingly low, like less than 5. At least, I think I read that somewhere.

My arrows are placed in as much of an aggressive helical as I can get them
