Default most effective type of vain??

I use a whisker biscuit and the pro shop at bass pro suggested blazer vains because of less contact with the wb. I dont know if it is enough to stabilize the broadhead though. 68lbs with muzzy mx3. I will be getting a stiffer arrow now thanks to help from you guys.

Well, Blazer vanes are awesome w/ the WB, but not because of less contact. They are very rigid, and hold up well through the WB. Any stiff vane will work well....I believe the Quick Spin is also more rigid than your standard 4" vane.....Amazingly, feathers work very well too.

Agreed. The Blazers may be shorter but they are higher profile. No way do you have less contact. Shooting through a WB you get full contact. Good or bad is for you to decide. Being stiffer they will be more durable than most regular vanes, though, and not wrinkle as badly.

That being said, I shoot neither a WB or vanes (most of the time). I kinda like feathers, too, but that's my personal choice. I do have a couple arrows with vanes, but they are Duravane LP 400's for passing between my cables and a shoot around rest. I have a WB so I might give it a try. I have to switch my bow around from a 3D setup to hunting mode anyway. That ought to take about 3 hours to complete.

Most any vane will work fine. I would deffinetly use caution on the quickspins. Im not sure but I know they have changed somethings with them but originaly they were really soft and a bow with any speed would crinkle them within a few shots through a wisker bisquit.

I use 4 inch Duravanes with no problems. I have also heard that Bohning 'Killer' vanes work well and also the Vanetec 'V-Max'.

Blazers are good with the Whisker Biscuit. Others that hold up well are Vanetec, Flex Fletch, and perhaps the new Norway Predators and AAE Hunter Max. As for Quick Spins, make sure you are getting the ST version of Quickspins. I am using the 2" ST hunter vanes. They stabilize broadheads very well, IME.
