fletching
I am confused. When I first started traditional archery bout a yearago and started making my own arrows, I read up on here that if you shoot left helical you need left wing feathers. I read later that that was wrong. I have a Martin J8 fletcher left helical clamp. For met to get the feathers to glue properly I have to use right wing feathers. It works great now so Iam not going to change it but what is the right way?

RE: fletching
i have a martin fletcher as well, i was having problems with my fletching not making full contact on the shaft. i wrapped a rubber band around the cradle notch and adjusted the way that my shaft set in there. this made a world of difference for me. and my jig has a left clamp and i use left wing feathers.
