I have 3 questions.

1. I' ve heard that if you are a right handed shooter and you plan to use helical vanes or feathers, you need to use a right helical. Is there a differnce in the spin of the arrow based on which arm you draw back with? If so, what would a right handed shooter have on his arrows?

2. I realize that the helical vanes give the arrow spin to help stabilize it, but what about shooting straight vanes? Do you get less spin and stabilization?

3. What do you shoot? Left helical, Right Helical or Straight?

Thanks in advance for all the input I know you will give me!

I shoot a straight fletching basically. I use a 2 degree offset. I was told the oppisite that if you are right handed to shoot a left helical. But I am not sure about that. I wouldn' t think it would matter left or right. I could be wrong though. If so someone correct me if I am wrong.

Left or right - makes no difference with compound bows.

You want an offset or helical when shooting broadheads.

Let me start off with my experanice this summer. Have been shooting 2314' s 5" feathers with a right helical. Bought some Gametracker cxhunter arrows with the vane and 2 degree offset...they shot the same out of my bow.
This quesiton gets brought up alot....and there was any artical in a magazine a while back. I would belive that a feather will stabilze the arrow better...and the helical will help a bit more. But straight seems to just fine for all practical porpuses and you may get more cleanerce on your rest.
thanks,
