Staggered vanes
 

I just watched Bowtech'S tv show. They were bowhuntin Prarie dogs. One of the guys had 2" vanes, not sure if they were blazers or not, but they were staggered up the shaft by about 1/2". I have not seen this before. What is the reasoning behind it?

I dont know, but i am definately not a fan of that show...

I watched one of thier shows not to long ago. They were talking about how was the propper way to set up a bow for an archer. I noticed when the guy went to shoot field tips and broadheads that his vanes, I think they were blazers, were offset to. They were offset a lot more than a half inch. It was more like half the length of the fletching. I found this odd and wondered what the purpose of this was too??

I wondered what the purpose was of haveing a whole 30 minute show over how to set up a bow. Seems like Scott isnt gettin enough quality hunts to have a TV show.

yeah there are a lot of bad shows out now. they shouldn't even be on tv

I guess the idea is less drag and flatter shooting. I tried some and they flew real good. Don't know if they were any better.

I think if there was any type of advantage to this the pros would have been doing this already

If you want less drag go to a lower profile fletch, would look alot better than the staggered does.

That's where I got the idea...Pro Hunters are using it.:eek:

I read about it last year, and they claimed to have the benefits of small vanes(light weight, less drag) but with them staggered around the shaft it performed like longer vanes, they claimed to have the speed and wind resistance of the two inch vanes, but the stability of four inch vanes. I havent tried it yet, and am still apprehensive about it, but would like to know more about if it works.
