    I’m thinking about getting a set to mess around with. Wondering if anyone here has any experience with them? Good, bad or ugly???

    I tried them a while back. They do work as advertised but can’t say they did anything vanes/feathers don’t already do. Don’t care about speed so I didnt chrono them. The only advantage I could see was not having to re-fletch in case of damage. I enjoy fletching so wasnt an issue to me. Still a big fan of vanes, loving the Norway 2″ Fusion vanes right now!

    No promises but I might have a couple laying around that you are welcome to if you want to try them. What arrow are you shooting?

    Well, to be honest, I haven’t gotten my new arrows yet. I’m headed for Alaska tomorrow. When I return, assuming I don’t blow the budget completely, I’ll be getting the Easton Axis.

    I’ve always been a blazer fan and they work well for me with mechanical heads. However, occasionally my form suffers a bit and my arrows get a little kick out. Wondering if the improved flight specs will help improve those “off” moments.

    If you find them, I’d love to try them.

    I will do some digging and see if I can find anything. Post up when you get back and I will let you know.

    Good luck and have fun! Jealous…

    Don’t be jealous, I’m told it’s all the beer I can drink plus all the halibut and crab I can eat.

    I have some as well and really didn’t see any improvements in my groupings. Not saying they don’t work because they do have a huge following. Just saying I didn’t see any difference. However, I do think they would work best in windy conditions. Let me know if you want to try them Kooty.

    Thanks guys. I’m not sure how I feel about them, but I do want to try them for windy conditions, especially for my SD hunts.

    I don’t like that they pop off if you plan to use lighted knocks.

    Well, I’m officially out of here. My last post while in MN.

    I’m sitting in the airport now. As a hunter, there are several critters here picture worthy, but none of them will slow down long enough for a photo.

    Wish I would have had room for a spotting scope on this trip. Binocs will have to do.

    I hope you don’t run into that angry sow again at the airport. You know the one where you were picking on with her cubs!
