Default Quickspin fletching?

I have heard that the quick spin fletching really helps with accuracy. I was just wondering if it is worth the extra money.

I have to say a big no. I jumped on this bandwagon when it first came out. And let me tell ya, at the price they are charging, a definate no. If you bow is tuned and shooting true, and your form is good, then there is no need in that much stabiliztion. I just put a helical twist on my 4" vanes, and flies just as good. I know at one time, if you had a shoot thru rest, then I could see them benefiting by putting a straight fletch with quickspins.

I am using quikspin ST'sand have only good things to say about them . I am shootingGT Hunter XT's fletched straightand they are great , i have just fletched another 6 XT'swith slight helical and am yet to try them out . Weather has been really bad , so canot test them properly .

I also use a prong style rest NAP Quiktune 1000 and have no clearance probs , Quikspins are pretty good IMO .

If you're worried about accuracy and are not an Olympic class shooter, just about any fletching will shoot better than you can. What a quick spin does is nothing more than stabilize the arrow a little quicker if anything. I use the mini Hunter quickspins and like them. However, they're much more fragile than most other fletchings as far as surviving slaps from other arrows in a target. NO, they won't increase your accuracy per say, but the help stabilize(especially fixed broadheads).... BUT, if your bow is tuned and matched to the arrow with the head that's a NON issue also. It's a personnal thingy.

Absolutely love them! If you buy them make sure you get the ST's. They are made of a better material then the original QS's.

I'm a feathers guys and that is my preference but I have shot the QS's a lot. The older ones had durability issues but the new ST's have that issue fixed. If I shot vanes I would shoot the QS Speed Hunter ST's in a heart beat.

I doubt a few $ on fletching will break anyone and they do an Awesome job.

My plan is to get away from Blazers and go to feathers, this year. If I don't end up shooting feathers.....I'll go with a QS. I "think" they're a little bit heavieer than regular vanes....which is fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they slow your arrow down some too.
