I was just wondering what vanes you guys shoot. If you pick other please explain. Do any of you guys fletch you arrows helical? I know my one friend shoots feathers and he fletches his helical can you do that with vanes or only feathers?

I have Blazers, 2 white 1 orange. No healical.

These seem much thicker and durable then the factory ones on my arrows.

what arrows do you shoot? did you take the factory ones off to put on the blazers?

I shoot carbon express thunderstorm arrows, when I buy new arrows, I will buy just shafts or have blazers put on from the start.

I stopped trying different types. I just use the AAE vanes.

I shoot Blazers with a pretty hard offset.

do you fletch them yourself or do you get that done at the store? I am interested in learning how to fletch.

I shoot both vanes and feathers.

For vanes Blazers
For feathers Razrs. (these are the only ones I have used might try different one later but I like these.)

Being as you mention feathers as an option I guess you mean what type of fletching we use. Feathers are feathers. Vanes are plastic. That being said I prefer feathers, but occasionally I shoot vanes. When I do I use Duravane 4" LP 400's.

For orientation? Helical, always. Haven't shot a straight fletch in over 30 years.
