Default HAVE YOU SEEN these crazy things-FOB airfoil vane

The reason I am posting this is my buddy is ordering some of these after talking to a couple local shooters. The thing is an airfoil in place of vanes on the rear of an arrow. The couple local guys were so impressed with them that my hunting buddy is switching all his things over. Have any of you used them? here is the website. www.starrflight.com I hate to see him waste his money if they are junk.

I had some I didn't care for. I gave them to someone here on the boards, I can't remember who though.

I have been using them, arrows fly great. The issue I had was how I anchored. At first it felt weird, but now it's second nature.

A buddy of mine has used them and really liked them. He said they flew great and were hardly affect by strong crosswinds. I personally havent tried them, but would like to sometime...

The fact that they would fall off in the event of a pass through. I just thought it would be harder to find my arrow when the fletching isn't connected to it after a shot.
