After just three indoor range sessions, my brand new arrows are looking beat up. The vanes have taken the brunt of the load, most of them are beginning to ripple and even a few of them have torn.

My question is, changing vanes isn't necessarily done on a time frame correct? It is more of, when they are showing wear you change them right? And how much wear is too much wear? I know my shooting form probably ins't perfect when I shoot yet (since I am a new archer) but I am wondering if my old nocking pattern (fletching clearance of my rest has now been fixed) and these rippled and tornvanes are causing more of the inaccuracy then my shooting form, bow setup, etc.

Right now I have 5575 Gold Tip Expedition Hunters on a 50 lb. 29'' draw length bow. They are fitted with Gold Tip nocks and inserts along with Gold Tip 4'' vanes. When hunting season rolls around, I hope to be up around 55-60 lbs of draw. I will also be buying new carbon shafts before hunting season as well. I am thinking about going with Gold Tip Pro Huntersbare shafts andhave them fletched with adifferent vane ordo them myself.

If I did go to a switch of vanes on my current arrows, what type of vane should I be looking into getting? (Quickspin, Duravanes, Blazers, etc.) I am not really impressed with the Gold Tip vanes, the shafts are nice, but not the vanes. They have seemed to wear out a little faster than I have expected. Maybe this is common, I really don't know since I haven't been around the sport very long.

Any help regarding this matter would be great!

Thanks for your time, I appreciate all the help I get from this forum.
