RE: do helicals fly higher than straight feathers?
Since Easton doesn' t make finished arrows, that still doesn' t tell me a whole lot. Finished arrows are usually made up by a middleman somewhere between Easton and point of sale, or by the pro shop themselves.
But as long as it' s not a full helical wrap with the leading end of one feather in line with the back end of the next feather, then I' d say you' ll need a chronograph to see a whole lot of difference. At least until you get out to around 60 yards.
If it is a full helical (way too much, IMO) then you' ll see a dramatic difference within 20 yards.
