I've built and shot more than you can imagine. If the arrow has straight fletching IT WILL NOT SPIN. There is nothing causing the force to create spin. Straight fletching causes drag which stablizes the rear of the arrow causing it to fly straight with out spinning it. So, you're saying even a bare shaft arrow will spin. Well, it will not because there is no fletching with "twist". By the way, it's called "off set" or "helical" not twist. Once again you dont know shit.

You obviously don't know anything about archery and fletching arrows. They were given a helix (twist) so the arrow will spin in flight, making it more stable and allowing it to fly straight.

@ArcheryGuy Oh, see I only hunt and thought aluminum arrows were a thing of the past. But if I ever shoot in a league or something I would use alu.

@jtschid0910 I use aluminium arrows during the indoor season and carbon/alu during the outdoor season. The extra weight of the alu arrows doesn't really matter for the shorter distance of indoor and the arrows have a larger diameter that "breaks" the lines and can give slightly higher scores.

Why are do you use aluminum arrows?

Jeez you have steady hands putting that glue on!
I couldn't tell from the vid, to get twist, do you lay the spine at an angle to the axis of the shaft, or do you just twist the feather?

@hackamore Well, it's a little of both. I normally put my fletchings on with a degree or two of offset on the shaft and in this vid I was using a helical clamp which adds a little twist to the fletching. It makes the arrow spin a bit more which adds stability in flight.

How do you get the vanes evenly indexed?Im a bit of a noob and have no experience with fletching shafts
Jonesy2197 4 months ago
@Jonesy2197 Actually, it's the fletching jig that does the measuring. There are notches in the jig so the knob pops into place when I turn it and it reaches the right place. It's really easy.
