A helical fletching means that the feathers are attached to the arrow shaft at a slight spiral angle, rather than straight. This causes the arrow to spin in flight, similar to a bullet from a rifled barrel.

Effects:

  • Faster stabilization of the arrow
  • Smoother, more stable flight
  • Slightly increased air resistance

Helical fletching is commonly used in 3D and traditional archery.
