fletching questions
hello,
like i've said before, it's been a while and i need some help getting back into things.
i have always done straight offset fletching beforebut i am wanting to dohelical because i amgoing to usefixed blade broadheads. i am a right handed archer, sowouldi need left helical or right helical? do you use right side feathers with right helical or is it the other way around.
i own a bitzenberger dial-o-fletch with a straight clamp. do i need to buy the helical clamp AND the nock receiver? what is the difference between the tm, straight, left helical, and right helical nock receivers?
also, has anyone ever used the bohning fletching tape to fletch feathers? how well does it hold up?

RE: fletching questions
I have used the fletching tape, but I prefer gluing them. You need a Right Helical clamp, and Right wing feathers. Put all the offset you can get in a Helical clamp and still get your arrows sitting flat on the arrow shaft and you will be pleased with the results
