Well, some of you know I just bought some new arrows with Quick Spins after having shot feathers forever. I just spent 2 or 3 hours tinkering with my new dozen arrows. First off, those bad boys do group well. I learned... all to late, that there is no way you can shoot one spot with those things. Where as a feather can take multiple hits and still fly like a dart, wellllllllllllll..... it just isn't the same with Quick spin vanes, well maybe it's that way with any vane. With the air foil they have on them I would think a quick spin is more tempermental. I shot them all at 20 a couple times and then 30. I found one that for whatever reason always wanted to shootto it's on group. In the process I noticed I had a couple bad tears in a couple vanes so set them aside.

Then I screwed on broadheads. Well, they grouped like crazy and I had learned enough not to shoot the same spots. The one thing I did have is that where as the field points were dead on my broadheads were left. I'll work that out later. For now I just wanted to see how they grouped. I shot them at 20 two or three times each and reshot any I thought I'd pulled or something. I then repeated at 30. SAME results. Just absolutely great groups albeit slightly left. EXCEPT one arrow that wanted to be it's own group. I took the Thunderhead and put it on another arrow, worked great. I went back to the bad arrow. Don't know how I missed it but another vane with a big hole/tear in it. Checked them all again and found a fourth that a field point had knicked good enough that I wouldn't want it in my hunting quiver. Definitely have to shoot separate spots. When I first started at thirty I noticed one nock that wasn't snapping on the string like the others. YUP, had crack in it where another field point had whacked it.

So, I started with 12, have 6 in the hunting box temporarily until I can fling them at 40 yards. I have one with a nock to replace and I didn't have any and 4 that need new vanes. The 12th arrow is OK for practice but it just isn't like the rest. I won't know how the other 5 fly until I put broadheads on them and I don't want to do that until I replace the vanes. Look out Len, here I come.[8D]

Are all vanes as picky about another arrow slapping them or is it just the Quick Spins. Definitely need some multiple target spots.
