So the latest thing on social media arrow tuning is "Arrow Clocking"
This is where you mark a bare shaft (doesn't actually matter if its bare but anyway) and shoot at a few feet away and see which way it naturally spins out of the bow.
You then offset your vanes accordingly to match.
The reason given is that if you fletch it the incorrect way the arrows will change their spin direction part way to the target (which is assumed to be bad)
I thought I would shoot some high speed video to test
Which way the arrow spins out of the bow
Which way it spins for LH fletches
Which way for RH fletches.
In my first test ALL arrows spun left out of the bow. This made me thing it was pointless.
I then shot another video with the focus changed down range and you can make out the RH fletches stop spinning left and start spinning right.
Still don't know if it matters.
