The reason I ask I have the new bohning helix jig and it says 3 degree offset
No need in a jojam or bitsenburg. Thats a good jig. I go all 3 and I like my bohing better than the others. Been using it since they came out 2yrs ago.

I read something years ago that said right handed shooters would shoot better with a left helical, I'm right handed & do shoot better with a left helical for some reason.

This may only apply to shooting a longbow or recurve off the shelf. Not sure that it makes a difference for me.

If you shoot the helical fletch , would you have to reset your sights ?

More than likely but should be fairly close. Anything you change to your setup can change your arrow flight and point of impact.

I've shot left helical in both coumpound & recurve with the same results, actually tried it first years before I got into recuves.
Mite be a mental thing, if you have confidence in something you'll get better results with it.

I had to re-sight in my bow when I went from offset to helical. It changed the point of impact 6 inches down and 4 inches left. But, It makes whats lost up in speed, in an increase in accuracy.
