what do you use
 
Just wondering what everyone uses for arrow stabalization. Vanes/feathers, length, kind, straight/offset/helical? Also what type of broadhead do you shoot, fixed or mexhanical, how many blades, weight,and what cutting diamater?

I'd like to see what combos people use and see if there is one that is really common.

Thanks

If your not using quick spins than I say you need a helicoil on your vanes. I use quick spins and magnus stingers 100grain. The faster the arrow spins the more accurate it will be. Quick spins will spin the arrow 3 times faster than just straight vanes.

QuikSpins with full helical. 100 grain 4-Blade Magnus Stingers.

blazers with as much a helical as one can get with a 2" vane

4" feathers on a right helical, shooting 100 grain Magnus Stinger.

Actually quick spins should have no helical put on them. They were disigned to be put on straight. But Dairy if they are flying straight obviously it doesn't hurt.

I use four inch Duravanes on Carbon Express Terminators with 100 grain
Spitfire Mech. Also the vanes are put on right offset.

Actually they were designed to be put on anywhere from straight to a hard right helical. Straight they still spin but the more offset you get with them they spin even faster.

My set up will be a Carbon Express CX400 with a white crest and 4 three inch feathers on a hard right helical. Tipped with either 100 or 125 grain slick tricks, which are a fixed 4 blade head with a 1-1/8th inch cutting diameter, and cut to 30 inches. Will also be trying out the magnocks for the first time this year (will see how they work).

Will be useing a BT alleginace and the 100 grain heads should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 fps and the 125 grain heads should be about 295 fps.

I know that Motown. I like helical.

RE: what do you use
 
I spoke with the tech at NAP about how to properly fletch the Quik Spins, and they said not straight but a slight right offset if using a straight clamp and a slight right helical if using a right helical clamp. They said it's not the best to do a hard helical, but a 1-2 degree offset is just about right.

For 3D, I use 85 grain screw in points, and 4" Vane Tec's on a slight offset. For hunting, I am using 125 grain slick tricks, with 4" vane tecs on a full hard right helical.

RE: what do you use
 
beman ics 400, thunderhead 100, 4" slight offset. I'll be going to a helical next year when I buy my jig. no time or money this year. Never had an ounce of problems with accuracy.

RE: what do you use
 
Carbon express CX200s cut to 27"
EZE Crest wraps cut down to 1" wide
3 Bohning Blazer vanes attached with a right helical clamp and 2 degrees(guessing) offset
Easton UNI bushings with G-Nocks
I used NAP Scorpion XP 100's last year. I'm looking at the Buzzcuts, Wasp Sharpshooters or Slick Tricks to try out for this year.

My favorite is a three fletched arrow -feathers, 5 1/2 inch left wing helical shield cut. I use a 2018 arrow with a 145 grain flour blade muzzy.

fixed blades with 4" or 5" helical feathers.
Hard to beat.

RE: what do you use
 
I use a couple of setups.

Carbon Express CX 300 with 3" 3-D Duravanes & a Rocket Ultimate Steel XP 100 or Gator XP's.
Easton ST Axis with 4" low profile Duravanes & Rocket Ultimate Steel 125, Steelhead Extreme 125 , Razorcap, or Ironhead 125.
Easton ACC with 4 - 2.5" 3-D Duravanes & Rocket Steelhead 125's.
