Doesn't matter as long as the feather orientation matches that of your fletching clamp. LW for LH/ RW for RH.

What he said. I haver both clamps for my Bitz and choose my feathers according to what I find on sale. Last batch I bought was 4" black True-Flights. A 100 pack for $2. Guess nobody wants to shoot black but me.

Has anyone had trouble shooting helicals through a WB? I have heard that sometimes the fletchings will grab a little more on the helicals slowing your arrow down a bit and maybe even causing it to miss a little. Not a lot, but i heard you get much better consistancy from a drop away rest.....Anyone have any experience with this?

I shoot helical Flu-Flu's through mine and it doesn't effect them, at least not out to 20 yards. I shoot helical Blazers through my WB out to 60 with no problems either.

I prefer right helical for the simple fact that the rotation doesnt loosen up feild tips when shooting 3-D or target.

Not true, that is the only way to go in the range. I shoot all black arrows. They are the coolest and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Check out this picture of my robin-hood.
