I was just wondering if one or the other shoots better. I was about to order some gold tips and that is an option.

Both styles spin the arrow better than just a typical straight fletch. An arrow spinning is more stable and is more preferrable for someone using exposed blade broadheads. The difference between the two really is the amount of twist in the fletchings. Think of a straight offset as almost being a helical with less twist. The helical fletching will provide more stability because it causes the arrow to spin faster however, it can also offer potential fletching clearance problems with some rests. The offset fletch still spins the arrow and provides better stability than a straight fletch but does not have as much of a fletching clearance issue in most cases.

If I am able to achieve fletching clearance, i always go for the most helical fletch I can. It helps greatly to stabilize my broadheaads and improve accuracy in hunting situations, which is the most important factor to me. My vote goes to helical!!!

My vote would be for the helical as well.

I have to agree with the others. If I can get good vane clearance with the helical fletch I go with them. They always seem to help stabilize the arrow much better for broadheads.

I would definitely go with helical because of the accuracy. I also use synthetic feathers to improve broadhead forgiveness.
