I would tend to think you would be a rare breed if that's the case.

right wing here still have to tighten up field tips after shooting,

Yep..I shoot both and have to tighten them up regardless of fletching direction.

String wax works wonders

I guess I've been lucky then with all the arrows I've been shooting over the years.

Anytime I did it lefty- I was always constantly tightening my points- the string waxed helped once I learned that trick.

Right fletch I've never had a problem.

I have always used right helical for hunting but only because that was what everyone else was using. I had never heard to use right helical to keep a broadhead tight until I saw a thread about New Archery Products Quick Spin Fletching down in the bowhunting gear review forum. BOB@BBT states that he is quoting Cary J. Pickands who is Tech Support Specialist for NAP. Cary states that is why NAP designed the fletch to be placed on the arrow straight or right offset/helical. The thread is still there for you to see. Not sure I buy into all of this but regardless I will continue to shoot right helical as it has worked for me all these years.

Danny,what about your broadheads?From time to time my field tips will loosten with right helical but when I shoot broadheads,they stay tight.


I have never shot left helical but I have shot straight vanes alot and I don't tighten near as often with right helical near as much as I do with straight.
