Adult arrow builders. Are you running offset vanes?

Anyone remember NAP Quick Spins? They claimed to spin the arrow quite a bit faster than other designs, with the little kicker on them. Probably not for the Whisker biscuit. I used them when they first came out, with a drop away rest. When I ran through those arrows, I ended up with Blazers. I really was shooting good when I had those Quick Spins, but don't know if the fletches had anything to do with it.
I’ve used those and the quick fletch too. They come off pretty quick when you blow through an older target. Other than that I thought they were pretty good. I actually saved a couple that came off thinking I’d reuse them at some point but never got around to it.
 
I want as much helical and offset as I can get to spin that arrow as fast as possible. On my 2nd bow with a whisker biscuit and don’t think I’d ever change. I’ve shot feathers and vanes through it and never noticed a difference. But don’t practice past 60 yards or in the heavy rain. Currently run all white wrap and 2 inch blazers so I can get a good look at the blood.

Same. I've been shooting left helical 5 1/2 inch feathers through a WB for a very long time without issue. They fly very well out to 50 for me.
 
I saw somewhere something in regards to helical and most arrows and a majority of bow strings on compound bows were twisted so that the proper direction would be a left not a right like so many folks do. I’ll go back through my history and see if I can find it.
