welcome to the board

I have the Arizona EZ fletch and it does a good job.
The one I got was for aluminum with a right helical but I shoot carbons but that dont matter it works on both carbon and aluminum arrows.
The only thing is tho use a thin swip of glue otherwise it will squish out and you will have a mess to clean up.

A bitzenburger, Made of metal last a lifetime sells for about $60.00 at bass Pro. Does both alum and carbon.

A grayling, made of composite material, works the same as blitz, sells for about $30.00 at Bass Pro. I got the $30.00 one.

These are two of many.

Does it matter which side (left/right) helical to use? I am a left handed shooter, so do I HAVE to use left helical or no?

I bought a Bitzenberger and love it. Very flexible as to vane placement and angle. You can adjust it for any type of arrow.

I shoot left handed and put just a bit of right offset (with the straight clamp) on my carbons. The slight offset helps stabilize the arrow and still allows for plenty of vane clearance through my prong rest.
