RE: Changing vanes and arrow concerns.
Bols I wouldn't change the vanes until you have worked out your clearance problems. I shoot a boododdle pro series and I love it, just make sure you rotate the nocks until you get the proper clearance, you may need to adjust your prongs to open up more.I only have about1/8 you may need a little moregap between the prongs. Then after you've worked out all the issues, then change them out.As far as the arrows not flying good. If I were you just concentrage on not making contact and good shooting form. Replace your vanes as you destroy them.
That is one reason, I went to the blazers, I was shooting the vanes off my arrows target shooting.
