Title: Feather selection?
Post by: DXH on August 17, 2012, 12:46:00 AM
Right handed shooter, screw in points. Should I go with left wing or right wing for fletching or does it really matter?

Just make sure if you plan on hunting with a single bevel you match up. What I mean is, if you plan on using a left bevel broadhead use left wing feathers and vice versa. If youre just target shooting em it doesn't make a difference. The arrow doesnt start to REALLY spin til its cleared the shelf anyway.

Like all above have said, doesn't really matter when it comes to flight. One other consideration, the main reason I shoot right wing is if you are using screw in points, it will help keep the points tight.

My exact response.  Left wing will tend to loosen.  Of course you can put bow string wax on the threads and fix it.  I don't think it would be an issue with RW, although left is all I have ever shot.  I got started with left and have way to much junk to change.  :)
