Interesting. So the bow rotates arrows to the left and it takes 20 feet of travel for the fletch to correct the rotation. OR...... those arrows rotate to the left and it takes 20 feet to correct it with right helical.......So, regardless if it is the bow or the arrow imparting the spin, it is a good idea to fletch your shafts accordingly for faster correction. Im still working that other theory over in my mind. It has me studying hard! But, right now I think Ill go make some tops for the kids in the neighborhood......LOL |

Yes it took 20 ft to get the right fletched arrow to stop the clocking rotation. That also shows for this set up his arrow is travling 20 ft before the arrow is going to start rotating. His left fletch started rotating the arrow with in just a few ft of leaving bow. So at 20 ft it has already made more then a full Rotation so I would say he proved arrows clock. Now does t matter |

Now does t matter I would say that it does matter. The sooner your fletching is controlling the arrow the better. Eliminating as much affect from outside force as soon as possible will improve accuracy. The confusion from my post is derived from my confusion over whether it is the bow imparting the rotation (as I had previously thought) or that the arrow imparts the rotation (as is stated in that latest article that you posted implies). But in either instance it seems a good idea to know which way the rotation goes and fletch your arrows in the corresponding helical to assist the inherent rotation and gain control as soon as possible..... |

I don't know. Sonny from arcrhytalk just went on a shoot. The guy that came in second said his arrows were fletched straight. Sonny looked at them and some where left some straight and some right. Haha. He's just started fletching. So does it really matter. Again I don't know. For target shooters prolly not. For fixed blade it might

I'm prolly not gonna seek out beginners to take advice from....of course, this info was said to come from AT. So as far as I am concerned there isn't much credibility in the statements.

I think that if you want to be the best you can be, you have to have confidence in your equipment. That confidence can be heightened by doing everything possible to make sure your equipment is the best it can be. I once watched a guy ride a 15 year old street bike in a moto cross race and win. But I realized at the time that the guy was really good on a bike and his competition sucked. Do you catch my drift?  LOL |

I agree with what KM is saying. We have both been around a long time and we know what we are doing. He is not trying to be a smart arse, just giving you good advice.

Not sure who your calling a beginner here. I'm by far not a beginner. The post was about clocking arrows that came from a pro shooter. Which that dosent mean a lot. But in the 20 plus years I have never heard of it. Now sonny is just a person I've met on AT. he has been shooting competition for years now. So yes he has his ideals. But at 67 yrs of age he has earned it. But your comment about AT. most of them don't care for me. I push limits all the time. I test and prove things all the time if I think it's worth looking at. But you are no better then the people you just trashed. |

I'm certainly not talking about you. The guy in your story that was just beginning to do his own fletching is who I was referring to.

Btw, I've seen good advice and terrible advice on AT. So I don't just run with anything I read on that forum....
And you don't know me from Adam.....

And if you go back and read my previous posts, you'll see that I have been 'clocking' arrows for years and I believe in it.....
