Title: quick question
Post by: Catnapper on July 31, 2011, 01:42:25 am

When choosing arrows for my right handed selfbow do I go with right helical or left helical fletching? Or does it even matter? Thanks for any help :) ...Keith

  I have shot both and there is no difference in my shooting based on my experience

You can shoot either right or left hand but don't mix the two on the same arrow!

Ok thanks guys...... back when I was a wheelie shooter it didn't matter but I didn't know if it mattered on selfbows since I have always shot straight fletch before.  Now I can go ahead and build some elk slayin arrows  ;D

I've always shot straight fletching slightly also but because of the natural shape of the feather the arrows still spin. With plastic vanes it doesn't matter I don't think.
