Feathers or Veins
 

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

veins - totally a preference thing though

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

4" vanes, any weather ready to go.
the heavier weight is preferd with me to helpwith thekinetic energy of the arrow.
555 grains pumps out quit a bit at 75 - 80 lb draw.

I have both... I prefer feathers, but if it's raining i'll break out the vanes. They both fly the same for me.
I keep 3 arrows w/ feathers & 2 w/ veins in my quiver.

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

right now im shootin vane with a shoot though rest and the vanes a rubbing the rest but once i get my drop away i think i might try feathers. do they actucally fly faster?

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

Vanes for me. :)

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

I prefer arteries to veins but who is counting?

:D

Seriously though, vanes for me.

RE: Feathers or Veins
 

I shoot both. For hunting I shoot veins. Indoor league I shoot feathers

Lx lungbuster, vanes are supposed to be faster downrage, 40+ yards. Feathers are supposed to be faster in short range and (maybe, it's debatable) provide better stablization for broadheads. How many of us bowhunters really need to take 40+ yard shots? Vanes, IMO, are better suited for targets.

I like feathers for a couple of reasons: first, they flex if your arrows nicks something like a long blade of grass, a twig, your rest, etc. whereas vanes don't (ie. feathers are more forgiving). Second, they're lighter than vanes. Third, they look much, much cooler. I still have to get some barred turkey feathers! Waaaayyyy cool!

I tried both feathers and vanes and i just seem to like vanes better.
