Looks good TJ. Just right.

I shoot 165 gr Tree Sharks and have my Bitzenberger cranked to the max for 5" shields. I don't notice anymore noise than with less amounts of helical others and there is no wind planing with the 2" wide heads.
Lefties are the only ones who hold the bow in the right hand.

More helical = more better.  As above, I find that fletching noise mainly comes from ragged feathers.  I always use new ones for hunting so fletch noise is a non-issue for me.  I shoot big Snuffers anyhow and get the hiss from those, have never had an animal react to it as far as I can tell.

I use a Jo Jan and set it as far as I can for helical.  Dad has a Jo Jan that he modified years ago to put on more helical.  

I gotta think that when someone designed turkey wing feathers a few million years ago there is a reason that they wrap around an arrow so nice.....

I have to agree with Ryan. From the nock end, my arrows look pretty much the same as TJ's only with different colors. I haven't noticed any issues with noise, and they definitely fly well.
