I would assume you would need to buy more nocks and fletchings because you will be busting and tearing them with your tighter groups

Glad somebody got it. hahaha

RE: Quik Spin Fletching

I have done extensive testing of the quickspins vs feathers. The only time quickspins did better was when I would take the bow way out of tune. The bow had to be way out of whack for them to outperform feathers on a hard hel. This on top of 5 FPS slower.

I wouldn't use them with the bisquit. They are the least durable vanes I've used to date and think that they would not hold up well to that.

RE: Quik Spin Fletching

I shot them thru a biscuit all season last year and they worked fine!!!! Only problem, if it is one, is the vanes get wavey after a while....I personally liked them with the biscuit...This year I'm shooting 1.5" blazers with the biscuit cause they loose less speed thru the biscuit....You will loose about 5fps with quik spins and a biscuit....

also always add a drop of glue on the front of the fletching no matter what fletching you use cause the biscuit can and will tear it off after time...

RE: Quik Spin Fletching

I have been using the 2.25 quickspins through the W.B. all season, and have not had any major problems.
I agree with Bolton22, putting a dab of glue on the end of the vanes, i
do that with any vanes or feathers.

RE: Quik Spin Fletching

Quick spins are a POS. Great for target bows, but suck for hunting. Unless you hunt a loud, short distance. I found quick spins, loud, slow, and not very durable. I tested them all summer, and just dont like them. Major drops past 20 yards, cronie showed them as to be rather slow, and did I mention they are loud and not very durable.

For the money, Id go with blazers or simple 4 inch helical.

I always retrieve my arrow after every shot to prevent that from happening. I know, a lot of extra walking but it could and probably would save money in the end and hey you get a little extra exercise.

RE: Quik Spin Fletching

They grouped very good but the two things I noticed about them and didn't like was the buzzing sound they make in flight and the drop from 20 to 30 yards was 3 inches more than with blazer veins on my old bow. 255 fps.
