i've noticed on my bitzenburger arrow fletcher that the clamp has small notches on it so you can orient your fletchings in the same place as you fletch. my question is how many of you fletch your own arrows and when you do how do you figure out how far up from the knock do you have the back end of the fletching?? i've always done about an inch but today i was trying out a helical clamp and when i had the fletching that far back i couldn't get any helical hardly on the arrow. my next question is with 4 inch fletchings is a helical necessary, or possible, on my arrows. the only way i could get a decent helical is to have the fletchings about 2 1/2 inches from the knock. it looks goofy, but then again, so do i. for optimum performance out of a helical fletching where should it be located upon the shaft?? am i going to benefit that much from going to helical as opposed to my usual strait, or no, helical??
