Fletchings

Is there a difference in the flight of the arrow and preference on the fletchings. Do you put your own on.

I believe there is a difference . Having a bit of offset helps give the arrow spin which helps stabilize it in flight . I fletch my own with the NAP Quick Spin fletchings .

That plus the longer the fletching the straighter it keeps the arrow in flight.

Only thing I have heard is that if your using a whisker biscuit rest, quick spin vanes will mangle up the bristles., but if using a drop down rest, doesn't matter what vanes you use.

 Good point if he chooses Quick Spin vanes and has a WB rest .

That's why I removed my WB and installed a Trophy Ridge Drop Away rest . Loved the WB though !

I have always heard that an offset helps the flight a little but for now i'm sticking with basic blazers.

I don use any offset, and shoot short fletchings all with fixed blades. I have no issues shooting tight groups (when I shoot groups, which is not often) as long as I do my part. I shoot Blazer vanes, as they hold up with a Whisker Biscuit very well.

I fletch my own with Blazers, with a helical jig. They steer broadheads great. I've used the Quikspins in the past and liked them a lot too

I'm still old school and shoot 4 inch straight feathers, but I am only shooting around 240 feet per second. Like WNY BUCKHUNTER pointed out, the shooter has to do his/her part.

I didn't care for the short fletchings and gave my short Quick Spins to my youngest son to use on his arrows .

Thanks for the input. I shoot 4" straight with fixed broad heads and someone said I should switch to the shorter ones

I switched to a drop away but ended staying with straight fletch blazers with nap thunderhead fixed broadheads.

I shoot blazers with helical and am very happy with the way my arrows fly.

Me too!!!  Plus I weight them with a proper FOC

Switched to Blazers 4 years ago. My whisker biscuit was peeling off the longer fletchings. Issue resolved.

If it aint broke....

I shoot 4" vanes with a substantial helix. Use the Jo-Jan multi-fletcher that I've had for a jillion years. Seems to do a good job of spinning the arrows in flight. I have no idea what that arrangement might do to a Whisker Biscuit. Might cause problems. I have a spring loaded prong-style arrow rest.

Huntmaster 2000 rest?

Huntmaster 2000 rest?

I can't remember the name of it. I bought it with my Mathews back in 1999. I've got  a great memory, but it's a little short.....lol.

I bet it is, they were popular back then and it'd be about the right vintage as I know most of your archery gear is older. Like noted above, if it ain't broke...........

No, it has nothing to do with "if it ain't broke". I'm just cheap.

for compounds I just use 2" blazers.  I set them to a slight offset for outdoor 3D to maintain speed with less drag.  I set them to a max helical (twisted around  shaft) on hunting arrows to get more spin and stability for broadheads and less plaining within arrow flight.
