Left or right?

All right, I admit it...stupid question.

Here goes: I can't tell whether my arrows are fletched left or right. I want to try some single bevel broadheads, but I don't want to buy the wrong ones. Can anyone post pics from the nock end to educate a newbie? Thanks.

I've seen that drawing before...no help. :( My feathers have no "catch lip". They sit flat on the shaft. Plus, they obviously curve and are not straight like on the drawing. Maybe it would be easier to tell from the top. Mine have somewhat of an "S" shape starting from front (point end).

Okay, here is a pic from the top...left or right?

left, can see the catch lip to the right in your pic, feathers will sit flat on your arrow but when you look at the fletching the feather come sup from oneside of the quill or the other this is what forms the "catch lip" hopes this helps

There is clearly a catch lip on the right side. Left wing.
