Default RE: Helical or straight vanes??

I prefer a helical whenever possible, espcially when shooting fixed blade heads.

I've not had any problems getting a full helical on carbons, but rest clerance can be an issue. But with a good drop-away I go full blast.

Also, I generally only need to let my vanes (AAE/Duravanes) sit for about 10 seconds before I pull the clamp (using Beyond Bond instant). On vanes like flex-fletch or marco, I use a slower set-time glue and usually let them dry as long as feathers (10-12 minutes per fletch).
