Default RE: Question about vanes?

That' s the number one reason I prefer feathers. They can stand some rest contact and not screw up arrow flight, at least not all THAT much. Plastic vanes will always cause a bad reaction - just kinda bad if it' s a soft vane that brushes the rest up to arrows bouncing nearly sideways with stiff vanes and severe contact.

Fortunately it doesn' t take long to shoot up and shred the vanes that come on the store bought arrows I get so I can refletch with feathers.

If you adjust the Bodoodle properly, you should be able to get plenty of clearance. Or you can simply decide the work isn' t worth it, accept the inevitable, and go for total fletch contact with the WB. Or you can eliminate fletch contact troubles altogether and get a dropaway. Frankly, despite the raves you hear about the things, I detest dropaways for a hunting bow.

For release shooting, my favorites are the GKF Rover and Golden Premier. As tough and accurate in the woods as they are on the 3D course.
