Left or right wing.
« on: September 23, 2018, 05:46:58 am »
So I’m building a set of arrows for a friend. I want to make these as accurate as possible and I was wondering about the whole dilemma between left vs right wing. He shoots right handed like myself. Do I go with right winged feathers? Would it hurt to try left winged feathers? Also how should they be cut? He’s wanting accuracy but our bows are vastly different. He shoots a little 50lb fiberglass Turkish style bow he bought off Amazon. I shoot an yew wood English longbow. What kind of advice have you guys got for me?

Arrrggghhh not this again...
It doesn't matter in the slightest, as long as they are the same on any one arrow.

I agree also.
Example, Art Butner made a set of 6 hill cane arrows for me. I fletched 3 left wing and 3 right wing. I saw no difference in their flight.

Relax, there is no dilemna. It does not matter so long as given arrow has same (left or right) fletchings. Hope arrows for your friend turn out great!
