No doubt!

Just a tincy bit of irony there huh. LOL.:D

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

I don't know whether to or[:'(] at that brutally truthful statement

There's a few Yankees with some common sense up here, but they are definitely outnumbered ;):D

sigh..now I'm homesick :(

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

I like helical for sure, but right helical is best for me. I have very little clearance between my buss cable and string coming of the cable guard. A right helical moves the back of my feathers up and away from the cable and string wereas a left helical moves the back of the feathers down and towards the cable and string.....just something to consider if you have minimal clearance.

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

If you are going with vanes, I would suggest the straight offset. I you are using feathers, then either a right or left helical.

Putting a helical on vanes is not an easy task.

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

Can you elaborate? I don't have any problems fletching vanes or feathers with heavy or slight helicals....just curious.

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

Not in my shop:D - but then I usually do things A[:-][:-] backwards.

I carry a few LW for the old recurve guys.

I like RW - a little offset is usually fine

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

You are one of the few then..

er..that carries RW feathers...

plenty of dealers do things A$$-Backwards...;)

I've heard that a helical setup will cost you some speed, but I have no ida how much.

It seems to me that it was 1 -3 fps for spped loss but i could be wrong

RE: Helical or Straight Fletch
 

I like RW helical .
