How do you fletch

Just wondering if any,or how many, of you guys use a straight offset fletch on your arrows? Does it offer any advantages over a full helical?

Straight or straight offset gives you a little more arrow speed. Fine for shooting targets and foam, but not so great at stabilizing an arrow with a broadhead.

I like 4¨ feathers (LW) helical

Straight with slight offset for me with 5 1/2 inch shield cut for me.I think straight fletch is quieter than helical.Just my opinion

I fletch with a bitz and it is set for the hardest helical I can get(LW). Really helps stabilise broadheads and everything else. No advantage to straight off-set that I anyone could convince me of! Shawn
