LOL! Ranger, Ranger, Ranger! LOL!
They fly great with or without a helical when using a broadhead that flys perfect. If you have trouble making a broadhead fly well and its not a crazy amount of inaccuracy then helical is the thing to try. With target tips it makes no difference.

RE: Do crossbow bolts...............

Most guys just use a offset on the arrows. The only ones that I know of are the guys that make there own. I would not mind trying a helical some day, but I am hitting two inch groups at fifty so whats to improve for me? Maybe it would help for B-Heads, but I never plan on shooting that far with them so I never even practice that range with them.
