Right Helical for me. Everything I do is geared to hunt, and if I'm shooting broadheads I want them spinning

RE: Straight or Right Helical?

So with Rage 2 a straight helical should suffice?

Nate, I have QAD ultra hd rest and I had clearance issues with blazers. I switched to 3.125" quickspins and they're faster than blazers by 3fps and broadheads fly better. A guy up in the panhandle sells them on ebay for $3.99 for 36. Check out Bullseye feathers on ebay.

Thanks for the info! Ill try the blazers and see about the clearance then go the quikspins if I have to. I also may stick with 4" vanes but Ill just have to see what flys best.
Thanks for all the info guys!!! Its been a lot of help!!

If you buy QS's make sure they are the ST's

The durability! If you buy QS's that are not ST's I'm afraid you would be disappointed rather quickly.

RE: Straight or Right Helical?

Helical will make the arrows spin more, stabilizing them quicker. Also, are you using a drop away rest? If not, you might want to stick with a straight fletch, maybe offset a bit. You want to make sure you don't have any clearance issues. If you do have issues with blazers due to their high profile, sometimes a nock adjustment will correct the problem if you're using a drop away.
