Straight fletch.

My wife bought me a new fletcher and it came with a straight fletch jig.I've always used a right hand twist.My question is how will an arrow fly with a straight fletch and a fixed blade broad head.

Chances are good that the arrow will plane off course without the rotation imparted by the fletching to counter the blades steering the shaft.

I only use straight fletching, 3.5 vanes and use fixed blade thunderhead 125's I have no problems with "planing".

I never liked a spinning arrow, only serves to slow it down. While only a little yea the act of fletching imparting spin is comparable to the arrow towing a small parachute.

If the bow is tuned right the arrow will fly true regardless of type of fletching used.

Thanks Dan I'll try and fletch one and see how it works.
