Arrows legal or not?

i always go helical when i can. i figure the stability outweighs the minute loss of speed. they seem to fly straighter too

I hardly ever put any helical on any of my arrows anymore even my hunting arrows. There will be a difference in distance between broadhead and target points

if two heads are of the same weight why would there be a difference just because of the blades?
Selfbowman:
More metal surface to air friction I suppose . Arvin
avcase:
The blades at the front of the arrow act like additional fletches at the front/wrong end of the arrow. This tends to destabilizes the arrow, forcing the rear fletches to work harder to keep the arrow flying true. The net effect is more arrow drag and shorter distance.

Makes since to me. Is there a certain direction to line the broadhead up with the fletch to reduce the drag at all. Arvin
