I have tried them but quickly went back to feather. While the little fin thingy does spin the arrow faster than a conventional vane faster spin is not the only factor to good arrow flight.

You need to consider that they are about the heaviest vane on the market. The heavier the rear end of the shaft the harder it is for the vanes to do their job. The lighter the fletched end of the shaft the quicker the fletchings recover from a bad shot. Less mass means quicker recovery and feathers are the lightest around.

Then you have the durability factor. I have found that QS vanes are on of the least durable vanes. They wrinkle very easily and split easily when compared to other vanes. I have found that feathers are more durable than vanes and even when damaged they still provide excelent control over the arrow.

Then you have the cost factor of the vanes. They cost about $16 for 36 vanes where as the AAE and duravanes will cost about $4 for 36 and feathers only cost about $5.50 for 36.


IMHO the bennefit just isn't there.
