RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

Not trying to let this go too far.......

I just learned something today that I didn't know. According to an article I read today on Hunter's Friend......an arrow that is fletched with straight fletching does NOT spin.

I had no idea. I thought they all did.

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

I also read that and did not know it...[&:]

Why would you want a arrow fletched with straight vanes??? Wouldn't it be like a knuckle ball???
Idk, maybe I am missing something or just having a brain fart...:eek:

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

I question a lot of the information they've got posted on huntersfriend.

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

Me too, but just for safety reasons, I also accompanied it with the same direct helicalfeathers.

LOL I was safety conscious also LOL :D

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

Hell yeah, hard right offset.

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

Yes, RH max offset with blazers and RH helical with feathers.

RE: Does your arrow spin in flight?
 

Arrows for compound fletched with 3 Blazers with right helical.
Arrows for recurve fletched with 3 5" right wing parabolic cut feathers with right helical.

What kind of straight fletching? Feathers will spin no matter what, they have a natural curve to them even when fletched straight. And I honestly think straight vanes probably spin to some degree as well, just not nearly as much.

I shoot either blazers or feathers with an offset, mine spine for sure.

Now that I think about it they all spin, otherwise with straight fletchings all your arrows would end up in the target with the same orientation and it would be nearly the same as it was when it left the bow. This does not happen. I have also shot straight vanes and had problems with field points coming loose after a few shots. This would indicate to me the shaft was spinning in order to loosen the head.
