Straight fletch for the win!! I’ve had bows that shoot right spin and left spin and in the past I’ve fletched accordingly, however I’ve found over the past 35 years of bow hunting that my average shot distance is about 17 yards and that using a helical didn’t really matter. I’ve been using a straight fletch for about 20 years now and have never had any issues with flight or accuracy. I know guys that swear by right/left and I don’t have any argument against it, but in my experience it hasn’t made much of a difference. Another great video…keep them coming!!

There you go! If it’s working why change it right?! Thanks again! 😃

My local archery shop team (with several pros) was asked to test this very topic. They were asked to shoot groups at various yardages with arrows fletched with left helical vanes and then right helical vanes to see if they could tell a difference in accuracy. They found none. Just another opinion. Some archers do think it makes a difference, and that's fine.

Very interesting! Were they using field points or broad heads?

​@user-sp9hy8tq4j it still doesn't matter. The fletching corrects the spin almost immediately. This has been discussed a million times on AT. There is also a slow mo video on YT that proves it

Fantastic video! I actually learned something very helpful, Thank You!

I shoot a Matthew's and they spin left. I run a right helical and from 8 feet away from a target it's already spun the nock to 4 o'clock. Perhaps with a straight offset, this might matter. With a helical it ain't going to matter one bit. Lol

It doesn’t matter offset helical strait right or left! At all!

It matters most if you shoot single beveled broadheads and need to match, no matter the direction your arrow naturally spins. It's not a big deal otherwise, but is even less of a deal to just match the natural arrow spin. It takes

Rule of thumb from years ago was that a right handed shooter should shoot left fletch, and a left handed shooter should shoot right fletch. That way as the arrow leaves the string and passes the rest, it will rotate away from the rest.

I wonder if we could get a video of showing if it really makes a difference with an opposite helical. Does it really make a difference in accuracy in under 40 yards?

Like @sheyanderson4371 said before, accuracy probably wouldn’t be affected but it matters most to match the spin with your single beveled broadheads. But maybe I can get something put together in the future testing it out!

It doesn’t make a difference

So, What if you are shooting a left handed bow? I understand that it is the way a string in built as to whether the arrow clocks left or right.

@@rolandcrawford1439 each bow is a little different. I’d say if you took 2 of the same exact bows make and model, one being left hand and one being right hand they would both spin the arrow in the same direction. I don’t know that for sure but there’s a good chance that’s the case. You would have to shoot a bare shaft out of your bow to confirm. That’s the best way!
