Is helical fletching better?

A helical vane is definately better especially for broadheads. The more helical the better 3-4 degrees on Blazer vanes. A arrow that is spinning going thru the air is more stable in flight. It will buck the wind better and stay on track better.

What is a helix fletching?

As its name implies, helical fletching spirals around the arrow shaft, so when the arrow is shot, the helical orientation helps the arrow spin in flight, sort of the same concept as rifling in a barrel. The spinning allows the arrow to better stabilize while in flight, resulting in increased downrange accuracy.

What arrow fletching is best?

Helical fletching offers the most stability among other applications and is ideal for shooting broadheads. The rotation of the fletching will decrease arrow speed at a greater amount than the other style fletching but offers great accuracy at longer distances.

What type of fletching should I use?

As a basic rule, if you have long, thin arrows – you would need a bigger vane to help stabilise the arrows flight. If you shoot short, thin arrows – then a very small thin vane would work best. If you’re shooting long distances, you might want to pick a smaller sized vane to help speed up your shot.

Can you use helical fletching with whisker biscuit?

I have been shooting Blazers with a right helical through a Whisker Biscuit for about five years and I have had no problems. I shoot Muzzy MX-3’s and they fly just like my field points.

How much does a helical slow down an arrow?

Secondly, the helical arrows do show a difference in velocity that is more apparent the further the arrow is from the bow. At the 30 yard mark the 269 grain arrow with straight fletch has lost 10.8% of its velocity and the helical fletchings have lost 11.8%, a difference of 3.7 fps.

What is right helical fletching?

If bareshaft spins Clockwise = Right Offset or Right Helical. If bareshaft spins Counter Clockwise = Left Offset or Left Helical. It doesn’t matter which hand you shoot with. Fletchings spin the arrow the same direction regardless is your right or left handed.

Is 3 or 4 Fletch better?

There is not much difference when comparing a three-fletch vs four-fletch arrow regarding performance. The only significant difference lies in the number of sketches. It is better to use an extra feather or a vane per arrow.

What degree is helical fletching?

most helical clamps give about 3 degrees with a 3 inch fletch. using offset along with the helical can be done , but it really drags the arrow down in flight.

Can you shoot Flu Flu arrows through a whisker biscuit?

Registered. It will be fine, for the first shot, then go have it refletched! The wb will tear most feathers up, and the flu-flu would be history.

Can you shoot feathers through whisker biscuit?

Can I shoot feathers through a Whisker Biscuit arrow rest? Yes, indeed! Feather fletching works very well with a Whisker Biscuit rest.
