Feather Fletching

[brad925]

Always had my arrows fletched by someone else so i never bothered to ask this qeustion. If the feathers are right wing does that mean they have to be fletched with a RH helical or can they be fletched straight? The reason i ask is because i already have a Arizona EZ fletch which fletches straight that i use for vanes for my sons compound bow.

Well i got all right wing feathers, i used my arizona EZ fletch which is RW and i bought a bohning pro fletcher sraight jig, and used the feathers, i test fired my arrows tonight and 2 went thru the target, they work nicely, i say feel free to try it and if it dont work try a right wing fletcher, its all trial and error my friend

Brad...you can use a straight fletcher with rw feathers or lw feathers...just can't use the rw fletcher on lw feathers and vice versa!!

What Manyletters said.

With a straight clamp you will be best puting some offset, the same direction as the fletch wing.
