"unaffected by crosswinds" . . . if you believe that, I have some swamp land in Arizona for sale.

The archer makes an arrow more "accurate" not the arrow. Plus, think about this, the flecthing on the back of an arrow is going to control how much spin the arrow has, there is just no way these tips can produce enough spin to out power the fletchings!
I wonder, if a guy were to put these on an arrow with no fletchings, how fast could they make an arrow spin? I'd guess not very fast at all because they just don't have enough area to them to catch much air to begin with!
They look like another waste of money to me!

I bought some havent tried them yet. Not really expecting much of a difference but they do look cool, mainly bought them because they're suppose to pull out of the targets easier. We will see next sunday.

Something else to think about, their claim about "no wind drift" cracks me up, as a comparison think about a rifle bullet, it leaves the barrel spinning, has very little cross-sectional area, BUT yet if there is a cross wind, the bullet will drift!
So how in the world would an arrow not drift in a cross-wind also! To claim that this little tip will keep it from drifting is plan 'ol advertising bunk!
