Well crap! GMMAT has got my mind rolling. So if an arrow with more helical spins more during flight, would it not create a faster arrow with straight vains? yes, you have to give up a little speed to gain accuracyAlso, if an airplane's wings do not spin, nor a jet's, then why would you want an arrow to spin? because you want the arrow to fly straight.
