    Just get a bitzenberger with a right or left helical clamp (since you shoot a compound)......and be done with it.

    You can thank me, later.

    Very good advice but I would suggest getting the helical to match whether you are right or left handed. That way, if you ever do go the trad route you will still be set.

    If you go the trad route (and you're RH), shoot LW feathers. This only makes a diff. (far as I can tell), if you shoot cock feather 'out'.

    If you shot left wing feathers you would need a left helical, if you shoot right wing feathers you would need a right helical
