Right or left feathers
« on: June 03, 2013, 10:06:00 PM »
Hi, everyone, I am just getting back into traditional archery after 10 years. I will be shooting my arrows of the shelf and I am right handed. I will soon be ordering new arrows. My question to everyone is what wing will shoot the best off the shelf for me. Or will it make any difference. Thanks for your input. James

Doesn't  make a difference for me. Since I make my own I moved to right wing years ago when left wing feathers were scarce for a while.
Most folks say use left wing for right handlers.

I have both RW and LW Bitz's, doesn't seem to make a difference with my shooting. I find it much easier to apply glue to the feather and place it in the jig on my RW jig

I'm a righty and prefer RW feathers, just don't mix them, you can't really go wrong with either.
