Default cany tell a diff. straight,Rt. helical

I fletched a few straight arrows tonight and then I decided to fletch one Rt.helical (both blazers) and after fletching I could not tell a difference between the two. Will it really make a difference in flight. I know you really cant tell cause of the little contact patch of the blazers, but should I be able to tell??

The Rt helical should spin while the straight will not unless you used offset.
Take a picture of theBlazers and I bet someone will be able to tell which is which if the picture is clear enough and close enough.

You should be able to tell the difference. The helical will twist right a little. If you use offset with rt helical you can really tell.

If you're talking about a difference in point of impact you're right. You may not see a difference---with field points. Screw on some ofyour favorite broadheads and see if that makes a difference.

If you're fletching straight offet and your bow is well tuned then you still may not see a difference.

I think he's talking about physically being able to see the difference on the arrow.

If he talking about flight I defer back to you. You're spot on. That's the problem with vague posts. lmao
