Dumb Question...

[Steelhead31]

I'm new to bowhunting, and have noticed that many of the higher-endhunting arrows have smaller vanes than the "standard" ones. What is the advantage of this?

[mobow]

It's not specific to higher end arrows, but.....GENERALLY speaking, target arrows are higher end, and target shooters use smaller vanes to keep the weight down. And since they aren't guiding a broadhead, it doesn't matter much.

Blazers are the rage now, with target and hunters alike, and with good reason. They work VERY well.

First off, asking this question automatically makes it not a dumb question.

mobowhuntr basically sums it up very well. Personally I shoot 4" feathers for everything. The arrows I hunt with are the same arrows I target shoot with.

Target arrows will usually have small vanes becase of3 reasons.Less drag downrange,lighter weight = better f.o.c. and they are affected by crosswind less.

I SHOOT 4" FEATHERS WITH A HELICAL FOR EVERYTHING

Well less air drag, weight, etc. makes sense.

Thanks!

The Blazers work great with fixed blade broadheads. And are pretty much a must if you use a WB.
