Broadhead and fletching

I was talking to my cousin and he was saying that when shooting a 2blade broadhead cut on impact that you have to use a straight fletch and when using a 3blad broadhead you have to use helical. Is there any truth to this?

Not that I have seen. I shoot helical regardless. My arrows fly like darts with either broadhead.

I use helical on every arrow I make, irregardless of what tip it has.
I would think that a two blade's possibly greater tendancy to plane would mean that helical would be even more important.

Helical always stabilizes anything better. Think about the spin put on a bullet by the rifling of a gun barrel. Now think about what that bullet would look like with no spin.
