spikekiller Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I know this it isnt a vane but if you shoot a drop-away rest you might want to give the Starrflight/FOB's a look-see. I used them last year. Despite their looks they are very durable and shoot broadheads like a dart. They will be on my arrows again this season. Here is a link for more info. http://www.starrflight.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTDOORLIFE3 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 You are def going to want either a right offset or a right helical. When you buy arrows they have a right offset and the reason for wanting a right offset is because it will help the arrow stabilize quickly. If you are shooting a drop away rest, I would recommend a full helical because it will make your arrow rotate fast, which in turn helps in stabilize better and increase your accuracy.

LifeNRA Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't know; I went into Gander Mtn said I wanted some Easton aluminum arrows 27" long and size 2213 and they cut them and gave them to me with fletchings already on them. A helical will try to wrap around the shaft, an offset will only have a slight angle as you look down the shaft. Take a look at your shafts. If your shooting good now with what you have, then buy the jig that has the right clamp for what your shooting now. It will work with 2 or 4 inch vanes.

LifeNRA Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Right or Left Helical is just fine for left handed shooters (me being one ... ) I prefer right offset for my shafts but that's just my personal preference ... BINGO John !! .. I remember reading somewhere, that a left helical can un-screw a field tip or broad head if they are loose. That left helical was only to be used by traditional shooters. Which I know hardly anything about, because I dont own one. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hallsway Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am trying the Blazers this year. I do not see much difference from the 4" vanes I was shooting. I like to shoot the crimson talon broadheads, which has been the best broadhead I have ever used. With this combo the arrow has good stabilization, and is extremely accurate.

backwoods07 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 i've shot the quikspins and like them alot .. they do make some noise .. but they also flew better... also noticed that they tend to fly flatter ... only thing is that if you are using a whisker bisket it will destroy the quikspins Interesting. And I was wondering why my brand new fletchings were getting warped and bent. Guess it's time to make an equipment adjustment.

indianaboy Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I like the 2" blazers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guesswho Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Forgive me if I'm wrong but does the longer vanes stabilize larger broadheads better than the blazers on the same head. I thought (or read it somewhere) that the blazers work great for expandables and the smaller shorter compact broadheads but that the longer vanes stabilized the larger more conventional broadheads better. It is myth or is there some truth behind it. I'm gonna try the rage expandables this year and up until now all I've used is the 4" dura vanes with a right helica. I'm considering the blazers too. I've was just told not to go with them on my 125 grain muzzys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Blazers were design for fixed bladed broad heads. I believe it says this right on the Blazer package as well. Coming from Bohnings web site. But if they work for fix blades, they will work on expandables too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
