Goattuff & Duravanes here as well.
I used to use Bohning vanes but I like flourescent colors and for some reasons the base on the bohning colors would not take to the arrow shaft using Goattuff, which doesn' t happen with duravanes. Plus the Bohning vanes were not usable if you left them sit around more than 6 months.

I' ve found the same as JeffB.
Flex-Fletch are the toughest things around, but you' ll pay a bit more for them. They can handle multiple passthroughs on a target that would' ve made other vanes unuseable. They have execptional resiliency.
Teamed up with their Flex-bond glue, they are one tough combo. Takes more time to fletch them, but worth it in the long run because you don' t have to replace the vanes as much.

gotta agree with Black Frog
flex fletch are the best. they are as tough as can be.
in two years of using them ive only had to refletch one arrow cause of a hole in the vane. That was because i was shooting broadheads.
like everyone else said though, they are kinda spendy, and you really have to prep the shafts before putting them on.
use flex bond glue and they won' t come off

RE: Which vanes to use?
OK - so I just got my CXL250' s for 3d - and a pack of itty-bitty black flexfletch' s - I planned on using Goat-Tuff - and I know I have to clean the vanes with acetone - but - should I switch glues or should I use the Goat Tuff??
TIA!
TIA!

I have been using the easton diamonds 3.75 for several years with great success. They are the same as the AAE but they have the little " e" on them which I like even though they cost more. They are very easy to fletch with the aae fast set glue.....
