Offset Test
Here's a link to a guys tests on some different offsets, would appear it doesn't matter much on target arrows.

RE: Offset Test
I have heard what he is saying about offset before. But as one guy in there said and as you mentioned it is OK on target arrows or field tips but does make a difference on B-heads. Some like to do there own test.... and others like to just take advice that others say works! Me, I like the forums with info and like saving time and money! I only like doing experiments if there is no info or I smell BS, usually the forums will have enough info where you can get what you need and not waste your time. I think he will be surprised when he does the B-head test.

RE: Offset Test
I can flat out tell ya there ain't no diff in whatever offset miller sells and the 8 degree rt hand helical on AZ-EZ.[bheads] They actually look almost the same if you sight down a single vane, except the helical look curved and the offset are straight but the angle appears the same, at least imho.

RE: Offset Test
You need to make a post on here Dave about what you think of it all. I am new to the fletching thing and am at a start of a learning curve. I was always under the understanding that you can't be straight with B-heads because of the B-head can start to steer the arrow, and you need the helical or offset to turn the arrow and correct this. Is this right?
Andif I read right what you are saying about the difference in degree is minimal as long as you have some rightDan?
Help theyoung grasshopper old wise ones!! LOL!!!

RE: Offset Test
Ive fletched alot of arrows in my timebut never for crossbow,I was under the impression that with the CB you didnt want to go over 4 degree due to the fact the vain has to tavel down the rail.
