RE: Too much Helical?
I'm thinking the feathers would give a little more general air resistance than the Blazers; but because they are more flexible, the real feathers aren't going to provide as much actual spin. I have no quantifiable basis for this opinion, though. But, in good light,I can clearly see my arrow spiral toward the target.
Along the same lines, it has bothered me for some time that, at a given distance, you would think an arrow would spin a certain number of revolutions - with some degree of consistency - and thecock fletch would wind up oriented more or less in the same position on each arrow in the target. Not even close. Even shooting the same arrow several times from the same distance isn't that consistent.
