When you mix RW and LW feathers on a 3 fletched arrow (say you have 2 RW and one LW) the LW feather counterclockwise from it act like the stabilizer on a plane and create lift toward the third feather so the arrow angles in the opposite direction. At the same time the third feather turns the arrow causing the aforementioned lift to throw the arrow into an outward spiral. This is really the only problem I've ever seen caused by fletching direction. Any other fletching configuration should work fine. I've taken salt cedar and secured the needles onto the back for drag and the arrow flew straight.
