fletching arrows question
I resently switched from alum. arrows to carbon arrows. I used an arizona fletcher to repair my alum. arrows. I would like to do the same with my carbon arrows. Any suggestions as to which fletcher is best for carbons? Also what degree helical is the best?

I just bought the Arizona EZ fletch Carbon tool today at Bass Pro. it has a 1 deg. helical, they make one with a 6 deg. helical.

RE: fletching arrows question
I believe they are talking about offset. It may be a helical fletch that is offset by either 1 or 6 degrees. If I were to buy one of those to fletch my hunting arrows I would get the 6 degree offset myself. The more offset of a helical fletch, the more control but itmay also make the arrow slower at longer ranges so, if speed is important to you that may be a consideration. I like maximum arrow control myself and my max range for deer is only 25yds so speed would not be an issue.

does anyone know how much affect 6 vs. 1 degree really has? I have my bow set up to take longer shots. Also would the 6 help in windy conditions?
