Any vane will work with a bow and arrow that is tuned correctly. Heck, I used 4 inch feathers with my compounds up until 6 years ago. I switched to compounds a long time ago, but like my trad bows better. So i just used feathers from the early 80s until about 6 years ago.

I agree 100% with Rev (which is hard to do). Ive tried all of them and Blazers blow the comp away. Blazers are the most durable and stablize the arrow real well. Ive got arrows that are going on their 4th+ animal. All pass throughs and the vanes are as good as new. I know a lot of people like quick spin, but I simply hate them. They are loud and not durable at all. They will also cause you to lose velocity and cause your arrow to drop more at distances just beyond 20 yards. I cronied arrows with quick spins and compared them to others. Quick spin were by far the slowest. And if you stand down range from the shooter, they are very loud. I feel they are a gimic that was ment to be a quick fix for a poor tuned bow. I would also stay away from the expensive string silencer brand or what ever they are called. Theyare nothing but a gimic. They work just as well as any cheapplastic 4" vane. When I cronied several arrows with different fletching, all were three vane configuration with similartwist. I didquick spins with hylical and without, and both sucked. Here is whatI found;

Blazerswere the fastest by far; second were 4" plastic vanes (duravan here as well, duravan was a good durable vane, i liked them); 4"feathers just a bit slower than vanes but not enough to be a concern; then quick spins.


If you go trad, feathers all the way. Turkey feathers are the best. I even use 5" feathers with some of my bows.
