        OK looking at the Trueflight website, (going from memory now) I believe I have right wing feathers on my arrows. If that is the case, do I get right wing bevel on the heads?

        If so, why?

          Ashby proved that you should match the wing of the broadhead to the wing of the fletching to maximize penetration.

          Why? So they are causing things to turn in the same direction all the time. If your arrow is spinning clockwise till it gets to the critter, and then is forced to spin counter clockwise upon impact, that’s just wasting energy and momentum.
