Default RE: helical fletching and arrow rests

I shoot Beman ICS 400's with 4" helical out of my Bodoodle Pro 500 (Pro lite is virtually the same, or any other bodoodle rest) and have no clearance problems whatsoever. The arrow doesn't start to rotate until it clears the bow anyway,(cannot turn if it's on the string, and it is for all except about 6-8" after the powerstroke. How much can it really rotate in that distance?) so all you have to worry about is getting it through the rest as it sits at rest on it. Most of the time you can simply rotate your nock slightly one way or the other (that's why I use the ACC 3-60 uni-bushing inserts in the rear of my ICS's with "G" nocks, they're tighter and don't loosen up and move like the Supernocks do when just inserted into the rear end of the shaft) and that will normally take care of it. I've found no reason to go to a drop-away either, to me they are just more moving parts like cableslide rods and joints, strings or lanyards, or whatever that could fail or get caught on something. I know alot of people like them and that's fine, but they are just not for me. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
