Default How do you fletch your blazers?

I had a set fletched straight, no helical and not offset on the arrow. I recently had a set fletched with the vanes offset on the arrow, one slight forward then the last. I didn't get as consistent of flight as the simple straight fletching. I was just wondering what everyone else preferred and/or had the best success with. My bow was shooting perfect with fixed heads on my straight fletched arrows, but not diving a little. Just curiouis. Luckily I have plenty of straight fletched arrows for next weeks opening weekend.

right helical here too...maybe your helical is causing fletching clearance issues?? i cant see a helical causing any flight problems other then clearance. check your rest, riser, cables etc for vane contact. i heard foot powder works good...spray it on the vanes and if it hits youll see where.....good luck...

It doesn't really matter unless you are using feathers, but if you use left helical, your points will come loose more often do to the spin in that direction.

Helical doesn't matter...I've also been told though to do them with a right because when the arrow hits the target, your tip won't loosen. I use a right helical.

I fletch mine w/ a rt helical, but the blazers are so short you can hardly tell, so i added a fairly strong offset to it. They are flying great and very stable. Was shooting yesterday in some high crosswind and they still flew true.

Right helical also, but I am having trouble keeping them on my arrows. Some blow off mid shot, some tear. What gives? Anyone using a wisker bisquit?

What glue do you use, and do you clean the Blazer base first?
