Bow string twist and arrow rotation

[Archer357]

Hey there,
saw a slow motion video of arrows leaving bow. It showed arrow rotation with left and right helical. There was a big difference in rotation. Video said it was do to string twist. Clock wise twist would cause arrow to spin faster with left helical. Slower with right helical. Anyone ever hear of this?

Never heard of that before but maybe that is why some bows shoot an arrow clockwise or counter clockwise naturally. Meaning if you take a bare shaft and put a mark on it and shoot a target from three or four feet away did your mark end up on the left or right side. I have heard people doing this and then fletching their arrows based on what their bow naturally shot the arrow.

I have heard of it. I'm out of my archery geek phase so i avoid that rabbit hole. My opinion is you'd need to be a damn good shot to see results in the target. More important things to worry about first.
