I should have also asked, what do you all recommend, do you shoot straight fletchings or helical? thanks, Dan.

If you have excellent spine match to bow, it will not matter. If spine is not perfect, helical will help compensate for improer spine and poor flight and help with broadhead flight.

Helical is a big improvement over straight. Think of it as rifling on a bullet.

I like helical.  Right helical with right wing feathers, left with left.  Which one doesn't matter to me.

I am a R.H. Shooter, and use Left Wing Feathers. An Age-Old Argument that it gets the Arrow to Spin Away From the Bow, and better stabilization with the Spin. Helix. Made sense to Me.  :wavey:
