    If I'm left handed should I fletch my arrows with a left helical or right? I use a whisker biscuit if that makes a differance.

    I think it's more of a personal preference but right helical is more common. Most will agree that right helical will help keep field points tight but with left helical they may loosen if they aren't tight or held in by something. Another factor is with most compound bows the riser is cut to center anyway where as with traditional bows are not well at least a fair amount of trad bows are cut off center. With the whisker biscuit you always have to weigh the fact that your fletch will have some contact with the rest but that s another subject. From experience I can tell you that with right helical I find that it will allow for better penetration in most cases. Whatever works best with your setup go with it but right helical or left helical will make your arrow spin better one way or the other and ultimately helps for better arrow flight.
