Title: Axis shafts: Helical or offset?
Post by: dragonheart on June 14, 2009, 10:35:00 PM
On the small diameter shafts, axis, FMJ, beman, how many of fletch with helical or offset.  I believe I would get better clearance with offset.  Any thoughts, right or left for right handed shooter?

I just fletch my Axis/MFX with the left helical on my Bitz.With the small diameter I think it would be hard to get much of an offset with a straight clamp.I used to prefer LW for myself being RH.But when I shoot RW I would just shoot cock feather in.But with the tuneable nocks on most arrows these days it doesn't really matter.I just rotate them for the best clearence.

I use a four fletch with as much helical as I can get. Shoot just fine.
