So when I got into traditional archery I was shooting right handed and therefore the standard right wing feathers I fletched my arrows with made sense (even though I didn’t care either way). Now that I’m fully committed to left hand for about two years now I thought it was about time that I switch to left wing feathers. I got some left wing feathers and fletched them up with a left helical jig I got in a recent bow purchase. I’m not sure that I love the helical better than straight nor can I tell much difference in the arrow flight. I’m considering going back to strait fletch and selling the bitzenburger jig unless the trad stars can convince of a reason not to.
That said I’m back into doing a little fletching and I’m curious what everyone prefers? I currently used gorilla glue gel, parabolic 4” feathers, white, bitz left helical, Gateway feathers. I want to get pink feathers and I’m not sure about the helical vs. straight.
So,
Q1: What’s your go to feather cut/shape?
A1:
Q2: “ “ “ “ feather length?

Q3: “ “ “ “ feather brand?

Q4: “ “ “ “ feather fletching glue?

Q5: “ “ “ “ feather fletching jig?
A5:
Q6: “ “ “ “ feather orientation? (Helical, straight, straight diagonal, major helical, other)
A6:
Q7: “ “ “ “ feather colors?
