Default RE: what kind of vanes

ORIGINAL: m9a9g9i9c

thx, now all I have to do is find me some over here ( belgium, Europe )
It seems like somebody doesn't want me to get my bow ready and tuned.
First my drawlength was too long, so I had too wait for new modules for my tomkat, than my easton axis 400's that I ordered didn't come in and had to be reordered and now I need to find blazer vanes.

If I find blazers or predators, can I just fletch them on straight or do they need to be "twisted" like in the pic ?

Are you going to fletch them yourself? If so then it will depend on what clamp you have on the jig. You can put Blazers on either helical or straight-offset. Shooting through a bisquit I'd be inclined to try straight with an offset first.

While it is true that helical or offset will slow an arrow down more than just a straight fletch it's almost imperative to spin the arrow to some degree if using broadheads. They'll need the stability of spinning. The speed loss won't be great enough to notice till you get to longer ranges, like 40 yards and longer.
