Got laid-off awhile back, figured I' d dust off the old recurve (20 yrs. worth) & try the old basics & SIMPLE(?) way of hunting. Just got some new arrows in.
I' ve included a pic taken from the rear with a ruler running thru the 2 nocks.

These are supposedly left wing helical. I shoot right-handed, the top arrow( the way they came in) is nocked perpendicular to the rear of the feather. The bottom is perpendicular to the front of the feather.
Which is correct? I thought the fletch was to twist away from the rest. Yet the top one runs completely right into the rest.
As you can tell, I' m totally lost on this left wing, right wing, left helical, etc.
Thanks for any help & please be gentle on an old fool.
