I'd say that they take exactly the same amount of time and effort. Helical fletch makes the arrow spin and increases accuracy and makes for cleaner flight. It does slow the arrow down a bit I hear. I...

Certainly the wing feathers have an obvious natural twist to them that lends itself to a helical fletching. That said, I still use a "straight" fletching as I find it easier to do with consistent...

There's a recent topic on straight vs helical on Tradgang. I ran some tests and together with some previous comparative long shooting don't think there is a great deal of difference in cast.Sure...

I started my arrow making with a fletching jig with a right wing clamp. When using purchased feathers and shafts it is amazingly easy to use and leave you with a perfect fletch in minutes (depending...
