I've been wondering about left and right helical ...
Does left helical work better for left hand bows .. ?
Im a lefty and have always shot right helical with no issues but just thinking even why there is the left helical .. Does it work better in a left hand bow ....?
I'm gonna buy a fletching jig and I'm asking which one and which helical for blazer vanes?

It doesn't make a difference in accuracy, but shooting left helical tends to make your tips come unscrewed more often.

That will depend on the type of rest you're using. If you're not using a drop away, too much helical will cause clearance issues. About 3 degrees ought to do the trick if you're using a drop away.

Question, is there a florescent cresting paint and are florescent nocks available? Something highly visible in daylight and would glow when hit with a flash light after dark. Seems like a good idea to me.

That's pretty slick right there. Have you tried those, yet? I wonder if they are as easy to work with as the other wraps.

I've only used all white fletching and nocks, until last year. I experimented with wraps and fletching my own last year. I never knew they made reflective wraps. May look into those. Thanks for the heads up.
