Right or Left Helical

[califhuntn]

This may be a dumb question but what helical do I use for my vanes if I am a right handed shooter, left or right? Also, do you guys that shoot Blazer Vanes use a helical or an offset. I am shooting 125 gr broadheads so i think I should have some sort of helical to really get those heads spinning.

I shoot traditional of the shelf and have been coached to use
left helical as I am right handed. Have seen a bunch of archers
shoot right wing with no problems
If shooting a compound bow, especially
with a drop-a-way type rest I don't think it matters. I usually
line up my broadhead (if three blade) with the fletch or stagger
the orientation in between the fletch. Again if you shoot
expanables this is probably moot. I know most archers have a
favorite head but some times can't get the arrow flight they want
and have to change. Good arrow flight in one set up might not work the same with another.
A trusted friend shoots a 3-blade snuffer with right-wing
four fletch from a 70lb. recurve! He gets consistant performance
and the snuffers are devastating on game. Another friend is loyal to his Steel force and Beman MFX shafts w/3-fletch. Both guys have the trophys to support there choises.

Good Luck good hunting!

Thanks LaGriz

Are we talking about a traditional bow, or compound?

 

[califhuntn]

Sorry. Compound. Drop-away rest.

Makes absolutely no difference which clamp you use (right or left)......as long as they're not mixed.

Yep, with a drop away, it wont matter one bit. Just keep em consistent.

BOHNTR & Bigpig. Thanks for the information. Coming from you two I know I am getting good information.
