RE: How do you like your fletch?
Used to do a right offset, now that I'm shooting fallaways, I've gone to a right helical. I always fletch to get a right spin so that my field points don't unscrew during target practice.

I fletch w/ right helical. The advantage over offset and helical to straight is spin. Helical spins more than offset, but offset spins more than straight. Spin stabilizes much mo betta!
The problem w/ helical is this. If you are shooting a "TM Hunter" style, 2 prong rest, you will almost always have some fletching contact. With this style rest, straight or a slight offset is the way to go.

So far i've gathered that a right hand spin is best no matter what to keep the broadhead from unscrewing. Will this also open up a luminok better? Also, if I use a drop away rest I can use a right helicle with no probs. Great. How about feathers -vs- plastic? Which is better? Thanks so far guys.

RE: How do you like your fletch?
I like feathers with a slight offset. I am going to try blazers for the first time though. If I ever get the ambition to fletch up some arrows with them. I have the vanes and shafts, just need to cut the shafts and fletch them is all.
