[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1242607, member: 7123"] Dennis, I'll bet you know the answer to this! :) Questions about fletching & accuracy. I heard from a very knowledgeable bowman that on a crossbow, helical fletching will really tighten up groups. 1. Is it true generally that more spin is needed for x-bow bolts than arrows? This does stand to reason. 2. If I cannot do a helical fletch, should I do a 4 degree offset (rather than a 2 degree offset as I would do with arrows)? Or, should I leave the PSE Tac-10 arrows as is? There are 4 long vanes but no offset and no helical to them. I have a blitzenbarger, which is supposed to do the flattened "Star Wars X-Wing Fighter" pattern that the Tac-10 and Tac-15 bolts use (if I'm not mistaken). Thinking of using Quik-Spin STs with a 4 degree offset. The accuracy I'm currently getting is definitely nothing spectacular. [/QUOTE]
