Like mobowhuntr, I like the AAE plastifletch vanes. I have been using them for about 7 years now and have no complaints, and I shoot and hunt alot. I saw the flex fletch dare in one of my new magazines ( where they send you a doz. vanes to try) and just recieved them last week. As a matter of fact I will be making some arrows this evening so I will be trying them in the next few days.I also have a sample of the Blazers coming. I am really anxious to trythe Blazersand see if they work as well as I have read. I like trying out new stuff to see if it is better than what I currently use. If it blows me away, I would switch. If not, why change what is working!

I just put some blazers on with a helical and I really like them. I liked them with no offset or helical the way they came on my shafts but this is even better. I've never shot feathers but I know I won't shoot 4" vanes again.

I have found that using a heavier grain arrow for hunting purposes works awesome w/ Nap quick spins in 4". I shoot about 500 grns. Had alot of trouble getting them to pattern well beyond 25yds. put the quick spins on and was able to hold 1.5-2" groups at 35yds. And yet might not work the same on all set ups. but for mine works great !!! 65lbs.,28" draw. Might want try some before converting whole selection of arrows.

I see your using quick spin vanes 2" or 4" & you mentioned they are atad big, do they interfear with your rest ? Etc, just curious, i plan on using them this year & all the feedback i can get before hand , would greatly help, Im using plastic vanes now, nothing spectacular, but Im grouping 3"s at 35 yards.

Thanks for all the replies. I have tried out the quick spins last year. They work, but I get pretty well same flight with my regular vanes. I might see an improvement with broadheads. Might. I will check out some other ones when I have to refletch an entire doz. I went thru the feather stage about 6 years ago. I liked them until I hunted in the rain. Too much hassle for me.
