I recently got hold of a "right wing" helical fletching clamp for my Cartel fletching jig. My confusion is that despite being marked as a right wing clamp, and appearing most like the right wing clamps I've seen in pictures, the test fletching I've done so far with it appears to have a distinctly left twist on it when viewed from the nock end. A picture paints a thousand words so..
The jigs - straight clamp (L) vs right wing clamp (R)
A cheap practice arrow test fletched with AAE EP26 vanes
For comparison, here is a stock photo of a Bitzenburger jig showing Left, Straight, and Right clamps...
So, am I doing something wrong, or is it possible it's actually a left wing clamp?
Cheers
