Quick Spins
 

Well today i pick up my arrow and i had some quick spins put on them. Got home started shooting and i really didnt know any difference from the new quick spins to my old feather fletchings. then i had a pass thru on my target and the quick spin vane got all waving, then the new four arrow i just got a hour before all started to look this way. i started getting angry and am now wonder if i shoot and dont get a pass thru on a my target(new insert may help) if it is worth having the quick spins on my shafts. i shoot Carbon Express Elimiatores 350's. So i'm debating if i should go back to my old feather fletchings or not. Any of you guys notice a difference with quick spins?

Tried the quick spins last year and quickly went back to feathers.

IMO there isn't anything available today that controls an arrow better than a feather.

Big bulls I shoot straight vanes on my bow and my broadheads tune in at a 1/4 turn off the fletching. But with straight vanes I don't seem to have a problem with grouping. What rest are you using ? Helicles or straight fletching? Cock feather up or down?

RE: Quick Spins
 

Mine are three 4" feathers with as much right helical as I can put on the shaft. I am using a QAD ultra rest this year but I have shot it very little so far (work sucks [:'(] ) so can't really comment about it one way or the other yet.

Previously I had the same feather orientation but used the NAP QT2000 drop away with out a single problem. As far as cock feather is concerned it is usually down but to be honest I have shot with it up, to the side, and just "crooked" and it has never mattered.

Last year I did alot of personal research over and over with QuikSpins and my setup. They definitely didn't hold up like others, but I really liked the results. I tried about everything I could think of and one thing I noticed was deeper penetration with QS than with Duravanes or feathersflying my broadheads. I don't shoot a ton like some, but I still have them on my hunting arrows and really like them.

RE: Quick Spins
 

The Quick Spins do take a beating if you are shooting them through the target. If they get wrinkled just take a hair dryer and heat them up a little bit. They will straighten out. They are pretty forgiving that way. I have them on both my hunting and target arrows. I am still shooting some arrows with the same vanes that have passed through deer a couple of times.

RE: Quick Spins
 

If you are interested in switching from feathers to vanes try the Blazer Vanes. I've had pass thoughs on my 3-Dtarget and no damage to the vanes. I switched from feathers to Blazers last year, and will not go back to feathers. :)

RE: Quick Spins
 

I put them to the test as well. They suck. Not durable, loud, and slows your arrows down. I like 4 inch vanes or blazers.

This looks like a good post to ask my questions. I was thinking about trying the QuickSpins but..... 1. I normally install my own vanes on my arrows with an Arizona Easy Fletch. Is the Quickspin too thick to use this fletching tool? and 2. How do these vanes shoot using the Whisker Biscuit rest?

RE: Quick Spins
 

My buddy put them on his arrows. He would use a blow dryer to fix them. He did that maybe six times anf then they wouldn't bounce back anymore. He stopped using the quick spins after that. I had the same problem where I was getting pass through shots. I just became a more accurate shot not to hit the middle where the two bales of straw met. It made me mad that the county tied two together in stead of getting a bigger bale.

RE: Quick Spins
 

Ive had zero problems with the quickspins, wrinkled or not. the 4"s fly like the 2.25"s, straight or beat up.

RE: Quick Spins
 

I'm using a right offset. but I tried the quickspins, and they do straighten my arrows out and keep my broadheads from wavering. haven't shot feathers in a long time.

RE: Quick Spins
 

They are the snake oil of the 21st century. To noisy and expensive......

RE: Quick Spins
 

The Arizona Easy Fletch works just fine with these vanes. I don't know personally, but have heard that the Whisker Biscuit does tear these vanes up in pretty short order.

RE: Quick Spins
 

I really like my 2.25 inch quickspins.

The pro at my archery shop advised me that you cannot fletch Quikspins with an Arizona EZ Fletch. He stated they are too thick.

RE: Quick Spins
 

pse...the arizona ez fletch will fletch the quickspins, you just need to take a bit of care when removing the arms of the fletcher. I hold the vane and arrow and move the arm over the vane. the tab nap puts on the vane to make it a quickspin is the part I am talking about. they are not too thick though.

RE: Quick Spins
 

I really did,nt see any big deal with quick spin. They are exspensive and really don,t hold up very good. I will go back to my regular vanes once i have used these up.

RE: Quick Spins
 

BLAZERS, BLAZERS, BLAZERS I've shot both the QS and regular 4" plastic vanes. I'd go to the 4" before I got the QS again. I have both 3 and 4 vaned blazers. It's WGACK'EM time.....

RE: Quick Spins
 

OOOPS! WHACK'EM Time

I tried them last year too and went right back to feathers. For me the weight in the back just messed up the FOC too much. Didn't want to go to 125 heads so I just stayed with good old feathers. I also noticed that one passthru and the quickspins are pretty much toast.
