Helical vs Straight

So I need to refletch some of my arrows and I am looking at buying a jig and doing it myself to save in the long haul. My only question is what do you guys prefer as far as a arrangement for your vanes and why? Helical or straight?

 

I do right hand offset. From what I have read you get the spinning stabilization and accuracy, but don't lose any speed. I guess helical is a little too much rotation to the point of drag.

Get a jig and do it. Its really simple, just take your time and follow the directions.

 

I used right hand offset when I used my drop always but I have to use straight for the WB.

 

I shoot a right 3 degree helical. I use a QAD HDX drop away. Fixed blades fly great this way IMO.

 

I use straight because I have the Octane Hostage Rest.

Here's some good reading from my local pro shop.

Now when you do a right hand offset are you still using Blazer vanes or do you use a different type according to the link you posted? Just wondering if you would get similar results with the Blazer Vanes.

 

I do straight offset blazers with a fb hellrazor@304fps. Great groups, no issues.

 

Is that on your Revenge? Mine is right about the same...love that bow.

 

Yes. Great bow, great price.

 

I have a quation i have a QAD HDX and shoot NAP quick fletch and the just touch my rest not a lot but they do. Would need to look into something like this what you guys are talking about to maybe fix my problom maybe

 

Ive been using blazer vanes. They seem to work really well.

 

Same here.
