Whats the difference?

What will you arrow do differently?

Helical has more drag, straight does not. Helical will handle heavier arrows and fixed BH's better. Thats about it.

Nate, do you fletch your own arrows?

FLboy77

No but I would like to start and I bought a jig so, yes eventually.

That's great, you'll enjoy fletching your own. I use a straight clamp and I offset the fletchings to the right. What kind of jig did you get?

I dip and fletch all my arrows (and everyone else's it seems) and always offset it to the right. Causes good stabilization but does slow it down just a bit. I recommend going with a right offset, especially with 2" blazers or 2" quickspins

I orderd a Bohning from cabelas for like 30 bucks. I didnt want to spend the 70 on a blitz just yet.

How do you get the offset with a straight clamp? I have a straight clamp. (I orderd a pack of a bunch of stuff off ebay and didnt know it was a straight clamp[:@])

you can't do a helical set with a straight clamp. If you have a jo jan jig, then all you do for an off-set, is loosen the screw on the front of the jig where the arrow rests and turn it to whatever side you want your off-set will be. Then tighten the screw again. Thisshould be fletched with a straight clamp.

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.
