I think it’s not necessary for mechanical broadheads but I highly recommend it for fixed broadheads. The Arizona EZ Fletch Bolt

I use the Blazer Jig at 3 degree offset for my Blazer vanes. Good luck!

It probably doesn't matter if it's right or left helical but I've always used a right helical. I also like the Arizona EZ Fletch for Bolts

The Arizona EZ Fletch Bolt is the best thing to use for Blazer vanes. It's a true helical fletching

The Blazer jig is also a true 3 degree right helical offset. They also have a straight jig plate if you don't need a helical offset. 👍 You can't tell the difference between a fletched arrow from the Blazer jig or a factory fletched arrow.

.....what the helical is this all about.....

.....I have seen a lot of pros and cons as to which is the better; offset or helical.

.....I know that the arrows provided with the crossbows are "offset."

.....so what say you and why?

Using a JoJan fletcher, I'm getting more offset and very little helical with 2" blazers. Now this is me and someone else using a JoJan may be able to get a full helical.
Anyway they steer my Muzzy broadheads well from a Ibex and Matrix 310. :thumbup:
Yes, I believe I would have good results fletching 2" blazers with a straight clamp/offset.

....the question is not being able to "get" helical. The question is which is better?....is it a preference and why is one better than the other?
