The only reason for a right or left was if you were shooting with old flipper rests and the direction of rotation off of the string made a difference, if I remember correctly. With today's releases and rests it should make no difference.

I have also been told that right is better because the direction of the spin will tighten a screw in tip rather than the possibility of it loosening from a left hand spin, not sure if that would happen or not but that's what I've been told.

I see little reason to use a straight fletch unless your adding offset to it to help with rotation and to me why do that over helical unless it make fletching easier.

I fletch mine to spin the arrow clockwise, I feel that this helps keep points from loosening up as I shoot as the clockwise rotation tightens the points.

I used to fletch with a left offset ( because I mistakenly bought a left offset jig) until a couple years ago and have switched to a right helical and have noticed ...........................absolutely no difference!

I use both right and left helical cause there are two wings on a bird...
I make my own fletch to use with my trad bows..
with compound straight offset for me
