No, not really.  Use left wing clamp for left wing feather.  Or you can use a straight clamp and offset it to the left.

There are a few things that become a pain if you try this. One is it is really hard to get the base to lay flat on the arrow. The other is that the natural bend in the feather is twisted the wrong way persay and seems to make the feathers come a part faster than they normally would.
