I use right wing because I've never cared much for rubber feathers and, in real feathers, rt wing is what's most available in the stores around here. If most stores here carried left wing, then I'd be shooting lefties.

The old tale that righties should use left wing and lefties should use rt wing is leftover from the old days, when bows didn't have arrow rests and folks shot right off their knuckles. Here's the real deal on it.

For right handed shooters, rt wing featherswill put that leading end of the bottom hen feather right into the meat on the shooter's hand, causing nasty feather cuts.Left wing slants the feather the opposite way on the shaft, whichmoves the leading end of thefletch over to where it won't hit the shooter's hand and can't cause feather cuts.

Naturally, the opposite is true for lefties.

For bows that have arrow rests, it doesn't make a flippin' bit of difference whether you use right or left.... unless you're superman and good enough of a shot to notice grouping effects caused by the coriolis force.[8D]
