Yes, I can confirm what Zach said in his comment here. I work in an archery shop and tested this a couple of years ago. It all depends on the direction in the twist of your string. From the bottom cam up to the top cam, if your string twists counter clockwise, then your arrow spins counter clockwise; if twisting clockwise, then your arrow spins clockwise. I tested this using four bows to prove the theory, two with counter clockwise string twists and two with clockwise string twists. The spinning starts rather quickly off the string so you have to shoot from a close distance. To further prove the direction of the spin, I shot from approximately 3 & 4 feet away from the target. Of note, most bows are now strung with a counter clockwise twist (at least from what I’ve seen), so that means arrows are starting the spin off the string counter clockwise. And all factory fletched arrows are fletched with a right offset or helical, so it has to “fight” to start spinning the other direction (I fletch my own in a left offset). Just food for thought for everyone...
If you are looking for a fast spinning arrow you definitely want to fletch the same way your bow is clocking. I do the same.. I fletch with my broadheads. Lot of wierd negative comment on here lol. Don't really understand that. You was just testing what was spinning more lol. You accomplished that.. so good video brother. RUclips is a wierd place. I've heard the d loop can change the way it clocks.. the way the string is built changes the clock.. anyone who is interested in this stuff probably has heard that 10k times and is just repeating the same line
Yes,. It would be, real NICE if, someone that can, "Shoot" WELL ( more consistent than, Me ) would Test this Out with, 3 Arrow, groups at, 50- 60 yards, using Arrows Fletched 3* Helical,.. both ways ! Personally, I'm Fletching, with Left Hand Helical to,.. Hopefully make a more Accurate, Arrow !
Im still confused how you work out whoch way they are coming out of yoyr bow? If it spins either way you will end up with the writing or logo the same way up or down?
You shoot a bare shaft with marker on it. That arrow will turn because of the bow string. The ones with right helical in this case have to correct themselves. Which is show cased by the slight turn the opposite direction of the bare shaft. The left helical feeds into the spin of the string. Now I will say he doesn't know if the arrows with left helical only spun once or more. I would think the bigger fletching would catch more air making the spin slower. I then would say the smaller Fletching would most likely make the arrow spin more. It catches less overall air and has less mass fighting laws of motion.
@crumbopulis slower arrow more parachuting. The more helical the more rotation. But at a certain point to much spin takes over and makes it inaccurate.
Somewhat terrible info never said how far away from the target he was. And it's called arrow clocking, most bowstrings regardless of being left or right handed bows launch/"clock" the arrow left because of how the strings are twisted when they are made, so thus you run your vanes accordingly. Then mess with vanes and helical after for grouping and if your trying to get it spinning faster

Of course most shots are taken within 30 meters....is there any spin drift to consider ?

The only thing I wanna know is if it effects accuracy that's the only thing I want to know

@@chasingthefish9042 Thanks for that!
@@chasingthefish9042 larger surface area means more grabbing of the air, higher rpm!
@crumbopulis slower arrow more parachuting. The more helical the more rotation. But at a certain point to much spin takes over and makes it inaccurate.
@@chasingthefish9042 you’re right, overrotation causes drag and with distance an eventual loss of speed which induces the parachute effect.

Brother, I don’t think it matters on which way to vehicle goes straight fledged any of that man it’s just more of fine-tuning it😊
You would have had to shoot the fletched arrows at less than 3' for rotation. A bare shaft can be shot at 8-10'. Not accurate info. Sorry.
What!?? Lol
