quick question
« 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

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.
