RE: SVL vanes
Tell you what. I am going to fletch three arrows with SVL vanes and I'll use three with QuikSpin vanes. I am going to use CX200 arrows cut to 27" with 85 grain points. I will be using a Carbon Six Shooter Target for the testing set at 20 yards. I'll do a test to see about grouping and noise. Totally unscientific, but will be repeated a number of times to ensure as much accuracy as I can. Here is the rest of the setup that I am using:
Pearson Dagger 28" 70#
Trophy Ridge Drop Zone Hunter
Trophy Ridge Flatliner
Hindsight II
Copper John Eagle 4 Finger Release
The bow doesn't make a peep when shooting, so I should be able to hear the arrows (though this bow is fast so I won't have much time to hear them). I'll let you guys know what I find out.
