Is helical fletching better than straight?

A straight fletch prevents the wind resistance you would see by using an offset/helical turn on your vanes but it also eliminates the helpful riffling effect needed to stabilize your arrow. A helical fletch can work very well if you are using a low draw weight/low speed bow.

Are Spinning Arrows more accurate?

As its name implies, helical fletching spirals around the arrow shaft, so when the arrow is shot, the helical orientation helps the arrow spin in flight, sort of the same concept as rifling in a barrel. The spinning allows the arrow to better stabilize while in flight, resulting in increased downrange accuracy.

Why are my arrows going left?

The wind, alignment issues in the bow, torquing the bow, and canting the bow can all cause the arrow to drift. What is this? It is important to remember that a drifting arrow will not be as noticeable when you're shooting close up. The further you back away from the target, the more the arrow will drift.

Is 3 Fletch or 4 Fletch better?

There is not much difference when comparing a three-fletch vs four-fletch arrow regarding performance. The only significant difference lies in the number of sketches. It is better to use an extra feather or a vane per arrow. This requires a lot of work regarding arrow fletching.

Can arrow spine be too stiff?

If the arrow's spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it's going to veer off target. Likewise, if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff, it also won't follow the path the archer intends.
