4 inch or 5 inch vanes
What are the advantages of a 4 or 5 inch vane. Over the other?

RE: 4 inch or 5 inch vanes
As I understand it, greater vane surface area equals greater control (stabilization) of the arrow so a 5 inch vane would give you more control. However, 4 inch vanes are smaller (less drag) and lighter and do not decrease arrow speed as much as larger vanes.
I am using 4" vanes with a straight offset. My fixed blade broadheads seem to fly just fine and I am getting good clearance through my prong style rest. I think the 5" vanes would be difficult to clear my rest if they were offset at all. The Mouse |
RE: 4 inch or 5 inch vanes
The 5" vane would be more stabile but the vane clearance would be more critical. A lot depends on the broadheads you are using and what will work best with them. I use expandables with Acc 339 arrows and get away with only using a 2 3/8" vane. I also use a drop away arrow rest.
