I mean in terms of performance. I have been shooting right wing shield cut for years. I have a buddy that swears he is getting tighter groups with left wing parabolics. Anyone else noticed this?

Been wondering thr same thing and am looking forward to reading responses.

No difference at all other than they come from opposite wings. You just have to use the respective clamp to fletch them up.

I had a guy tell me one time that he prefers left wing because he got better groups than with the right wing I made his arrows with. I borrowed his arrows and showed him it was operator error, not which wing was used.
There is no performance or accuracy difference.

No difference the human shooter could ever tell no matter how good.

There have "studies" that say one is better than the other. For every study that shows one is better there is one that says the other is better.

I own a right clamp I shoot right wing feathers.

Right wing, left wing it is all in the archers mind. For me the only thing I noticed was less feather wear, but there are another bunch of reasons for feather wear and I may have fixed the wear problem by accident.
I have also read somewhere that the left wing feather is less likely to end up in you bow hand if you have a loose quill. I do not plan on trying that out on myself.
OK, so as for performance goes I have read it will affect the single bevel broad heads that have a right or left bevel.

No difference, only time it matters is if you use a single bevel head, you need right for right bevel and left for left bevel......
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

The only thing I noticed is that right wing seem to help points loosen from rotation or lac of on impact. Never tested it just apears to.

in my experience there is no difference at all. Like others have said, it depends on the shooter's preferences. I have all RW fletching stuff....it simplifies things for me.

There's no difference in performance/accuracy.

Jeff:  Just to set the record straight, right wing feathers spin clockwise and tighten points.
Left wing feathers spin counter clockwise and tend to loosen screw on points.

NO difference at all in ACTUAL performance .  ANY difference is purely psychological.  . I shoot both  and they will go in the exact  same group if tuned correctly .
