Arrow design

[PLS]

Been thinking about how bad I need to start shooting my Bowtech. Guess if I think about archery, it is a good start. I've got a few questions I hope somebody knows the answers to.

Was wondering if anybody knew if there was any evidence out about the natives fletching arrows with a helical pattern or is that something we've figured out for modern archery?

If they did, it would raise another question: I assume there is such a thing as a left handed Indian. Would they have also shot a bow left handed or trained to shoot right handed like the majority?

I've been thinking about how bad I need to start doing sit-ups

I have never heard of natives fletching arrows using a helical pattern. My guess would be that it's a modern twist...

I would say yes on left-handed natives and yes on left-handed bow shooters....

Yes on lefties fo sho! Who knows on the helical?? Hard to guess on that! And yes i need to start shooting my Bowtech too! Last year I shot 4 whitetail, 4 axis deer, and 3 blackbuck! And numerous nasty hogs!!! but I haven't been practicing this year like I should, probably couldn't hit my own a$$ right now!! lol
