Default What do you shoot

I know this may have been asked before, but how may of you shoot with a left, or right helical, and do you like it (why). And how many of you shoot straight fins. I shoot with a right helical and like the way they are flying... just wondering

I often get feathers that are on special. I have both clamps for my Bitz jig. I've fletched both right and left helical and left helical. There's no difference between them so I shoot what's on sale. Last batch I bought was 4" black Trueflight, 100 for $2.
It doesn't matter whether I can see the fletch or not. I know where the arrow is by knowing where my pin was at release. Some of the best shots I make are those that I never saw going.

I personally prefer an offset fletch, never really cared for hard helicals.

I used to shoot offset but now that I have a drop away rest and a Jo Jan fletcher I took them all off and put on a right helical. I'm hoping it will help with broadhead flight.

I normally now shoot a one degree offset fletch that is probably closer to a straight fletch rather than a helical.

I shoot off the shelf - so it has to be feathers
