Default RE: Helical vs Offset...Tuning Question

Yep, Art did a good job on this one. I' ' ve been using a helical for years with shoo-thru rests and have never had a problem with contact. The drop away craze to me is nothing more than that--if you know how to tune correctly and know what to look for,(or know someone who does) there is simply no definitive reason to go to a drop away IMHO.

Another thing to think about is the newer " straight and level" nock travel design bows--I can shoot a myriad of different arrow spines out of one and the tuning is a complete snap with all of them! This I also feel will contribute to people being able to find that the tuning woes they have encountered over the past decade with the conventional solo designs will not be anywhere near as apparent, and because the arrow comes out of the bow straight and level, that they can even get away with an offset instead of a full helical on most arrow choices, even on fixed-blade broadheads! I' m currently testing this theory on a couple of S&LNT hunting bows and so far it is producing good results-- flight and accuracy are great with a 3 degree offset out to 60 yds. Who woulda thunk it.... Pinwheel 12
