Default Quik Spin Fletchings

Hi gang,Scottsman here ain't been around in awhile. Had to re-up and change my handle.
Anyway any body tried those new Quik Spin vanes? Just wondering how they worked for you.

The quick spins do work well at spinning the arrow. But, I find that feathers will actually straighten the arrow much faster if you happen to torque the bow or something. The feathers are much much lighter so there is much less weight at the end of the shaft that they have to straighten out. The feathers also seem to "grab" more air to pull the rear of the shaft back in line with the front.

A simple test you can do is take two arrows. One fletched with quick spins and the other fletched with feathers. Fletch them bot the same way. Grab them by the nock end and throw them straight up into the air. The feathers will straighten uot faster than the quick spins. At least they do for me.

The best thing I can say about them is that they are pretty durable. Other than that, there isn't a huge difference in groupings...at least not in mine. And they make a ton of noise...definitely not worth the price, even though NAP makes some quality products.

Very durable but you will loose 6-8 fps in speed. This is based on 3-4" vanes with 3/32 helical.[:'(]
