Of you switch vanes on arrows will you need to return and resite in your bow? Also do this quick spin vanes get put on in a straight, angled, or helical style? or can you put them on however you want?

I've never had to re-tune from refletching as long as the weight difference was not that significant. Probably will need to resight. NAP recommends a right offset to make them spin properly.

I've been shooting them for a few weeks now and I have mixed feelings. First off, I'm having clearance problems with a very slight right offset shooting through the new NAP 360* CaptureRest. Try and try as I might to tweak them, I'm still getting some occasion fletching contact on the rest and/or cables. The higher profile of the QuikSpin is not working in my favor in that regard. However, I am shooting the 4" vanes. I'm contemplating switching to the 2.5" and seeing how things go from there.
As far as flight, they've been awesome. Of course I have an entirely new setup for this year, but I'm shooting better groups at longer distances than I ever have in the past.
BUT the biggest problem for me seems to be their durability and then subsequent performance after they've been wrinkled. I've put some of my arrows clean through my target only to have the vanes come out looking like a piece of bacon. As someone else said, once they've been wrinkled they seem to get very loud in flight and lose some of their stability. For as much $ as they cost it's not very cost, nor time, effective to refletch when a vane gets nicked or slightly wrinkled.
I'm up in the air right now on what I'm going to do from this point forward. I'm thining the trying the smaller vanes is my first option. If I'm still having rest issues then it's time for a new rest. Possibly switching back to the Whisker Bisquit.

I purchased QS when they came out. Put them on Easton Alum XX78's Loved em. I recently changed my setup to carbons for target and 3D. I used the 1.5" quick spins. Need to adjust foc for these. Love em. I am now setting up my hunting rig with the 2.5 QS vanes on Vapor 5000 ACA's. I think I will love em to. The reason they are so delicate is they stabalize the arrow so well/quickly that I keep parking the arrows next to each other during practice. Of course hit any fletching with your second or third shot and they will be damaged as well.
Right Helical feathers worked well for me also however not nearly as well as the QS so far. I've heard Turbo Nocks are pretty agressive also.
Just my 2 cts
