kdub, the new zwickeys do not have a curve to them, but rather they are a single bevel.   They offer them in LW or RW because you want the bevel to be going with the direction of spin.

I believe Art B has been doing this for awhile, and it makes perfect sense and so much easier to sharpen a single bevel.

Here's the ones I saw http://www.spintite.com/crimsontalon.html  Not to great for a primitive bow and arrows but they do look like they would make a pretty nasty hole in something.

Fast spinning arrows will have more drag and, therefore, be slower. If you need the arrow to spin more, as with shoot shafts,  why not set the fletching for that purpose ( offset, helical). Jawge
