I recently fletched some easton ac superslims with 4 inch quickspins, I checked my FOC and was at 3% not nearly enough. My question is, would I get better spin or stabilization from an arrow fletched with the new 2.5 inch quickspin or from 4 inch feathers on a right helical. I shoot fixed blade broadheads.

My findings have told me that a 4 inch feather stabilizes the arrow much faster than the quick spin vanes do. Although an important one spin isn't the only factor to arrow stabilization.

A feather fletched arrow is much lighter at the rear and will straighten out much faster than an arrow fletched with the VERY heavy quick spin vanes. There is much less mass on the end of the shaft that the feathers have to move.

Think about two 300 HP cars. One weighs 1000 pounds and the other weight 2000 pounds. Which one reacts quicker?

Feathers also have hundreds of those little wings all along the length of the feather rather than just one at the rear of the vane.


Feathers are far superior than any vane yet available. They are also much more durable than vanes.

Thanks bigbulls I think I may go with feathers, since they are lighter they will improve my FOC.
