Question about vanes?
 

I will be getting a new bow and new arrows this spring and I am probably going to get vanes because thats what the carbond express terminators come with. I was wondering if they have a right wing and left wing. Are all of them offset? I would like to know because my bodoodle rest has a very narrow gap and my feathers hit but it doesn' t effect them. I was wondering if this would effect the vanes flight? Thanks for the help-sam

When ya pick up that new bow, pick up a new rest too, leave your old bow set-up like it is for a back up bow. I' d suggest looking at a fall away rest or the WB for your new bow, then you won' t have to worry about carbon arrows with plastic fletchings.

That' s the number one reason I prefer feathers. They can stand some rest contact and not screw up arrow flight, at least not all THAT much. Plastic vanes will always cause a bad reaction - just kinda bad if it' s a soft vane that brushes the rest up to arrows bouncing nearly sideways with stiff vanes and severe contact.

Fortunately it doesn' t take long to shoot up and shred the vanes that come on the store bought arrows I get so I can refletch with feathers.

If you adjust the Bodoodle properly, you should be able to get plenty of clearance. Or you can simply decide the work isn' t worth it, accept the inevitable, and go for total fletch contact with the WB. Or you can eliminate fletch contact troubles altogether and get a dropaway. Frankly, despite the raves you hear about the things, I detest dropaways for a hunting bow.

For release shooting, my favorites are the GKF Rover and Golden Premier. As tough and accurate in the woods as they are on the 3D course.
