Default Right or Left Wing?

I pretty new to Trad and wanting to fletch some of my own arrows. Now I have done a few dozen for my compound and they are relatively simple. My question is does it make a difference if I useright or left wing feathers? I am a right handed shooter... I assume that would make a difference in my decision. I will post some pictures of my bow and the arrows that Im shooting now as soon as download onto my computer. The arrows that Im shooting now were given to me by the bowyer and I didnt ask him what he suggested.

Thank you in advance

I've never found that it makes a difference for a recurve. Either right or left will work well for you.

What type of clamp do you have for your fletching jig? Right helical - right wing feathers, left helical - left wing feathers...

If you are shooting off a rest or shelf, it will not really matter. If you are shooting off your knuckle, it WILL matter.
