Hi guys,

Following the post I thought I'd provide a couple more answers.

First, perfectly straight on the shaft, the QuikSpin spins about equal to or slightly greater than a 5 inch helical feather wrapped at a 3 to 4 degree helical.

At about 1 degree offset (or 1/16th inch over the 4 inch vane length) the QuikSpin will approach 3000 rpm or about twice as fast as a 5 inch helical feather.

The spin is intentionally to the right. As a broadhead manufacturer, we promote right spin for a very sound reason. Mainly right spin tightens the arrow against the broadhead upon impact. One of the biggest tech questions we receive comes from the northeast region of the USA where many shops fletch with a left offset. People email or call that they lost blades on Thunderheads. We in turn ask: 1. Do you shoot left offset? 2. Do you completely tighten your broadheads or do you line up the blades of the Thunderhead with the vanes of the arrow by backing off on the o-ring? Most people answer yes to both questions. We then explain that left offset with a broadhead that is not completely tightened is a recipe for disaster. Basically the arrow loosens against the broadhead so the blades are then stripped.

With the spin intentionally to the right, we recommend either straight, offset right or right helical.

Shoot Straight, Shoot Often,
