Helical through Whisker Biscuit
I'm just getting into fletching my own arrows and I am wanting to save myself some experimental trials if possible.
Basically, what I'm looking for is: does the degree of helical of the fletches seem to affect flight through the Biscuit?
In the small amount of experimenting I have done, I do not really see a difference between slight offset and well, slightly more offset (4'). Is their a limit to the helical through the biscuit, or does it even make a difference?

RE: Helical through Whisker Biscuit
It makes no difference. I'm shooting a strong helical 4" feather throught the biscuit and they fly great. The feathers do fuzz up a bit from the whiskers, but it doesn't seem to hurt them any. I do notice a bit more noise when shooting the helical feathers through the biscuit.
