Helical through Whisker Biscuit

Bullkllr · 01-10-2005, 08:16 AM

I'm just getting into fletching my own arrows and I am wanting to save myself some experimental trials if possible.

Basically, what I'm looking for is: does the degree of helical of the fletches seem to affect flight through the Biscuit?

In the small amount of experimenting I have done, I do not really see a difference between slight offset and well, slightly more offset (4'). Is their a limit to the helical through the biscuit, or does it even make a difference?

i put a whisker biscuit on my sons bow, he shoots 3" fletch on a 24" shaft with the standard right hand twist and it doesn't effect the arrow flight at all

It makes no difference. I'm shooting a strong helical 4" feather throught the biscuit and they fly great. The feathers do fuzz up a bit from the whiskers, but it doesn't seem to hurt them any. I do notice a bit more noise when shooting the helical feathers through the biscuit.
