How do you fletch your blazers?
I had a set fletched straight, no helical and not offset on the arrow. I recently had a set fletched with the vanes offset on the arrow, one slight forward then the last. I didn't get as consistent of flight as the simple straight fletching. I was just wondering what everyone else preferred and/or had the best success with. My bow was shooting perfect with fixed heads on my straight fletched arrows, but not diving a little. Just curiouis. Luckily I have plenty of straight fletched arrows for next weeks opening weekend.

right helical here too...maybe your helical is causing fletching clearance issues?? i cant see a helical causing any flight problems other then clearance. check your rest, riser, cables etc for vane contact. i heard foot powder works good...spray it on the vanes and if it hits youll see where.....good luck...

Helical doesn't matter...I've also been told though to do them with a right because when the arrow hits the target, your tip won't loosen. I use a right helical.

I fletch mine w/ a rt helical, but the blazers are so short you can hardly tell, so i added a fairly strong offset to it. They are flying great and very stable. Was shooting yesterday in some high crosswind and they still flew true.
