QuikSpin Quik Fletch?
« on: August 27, 2009, 04:52:51 PM »
Does anybody here shoot the Quik Spin, Quik Fletch vane system and how do yoou like them? Thinking about giving them a try. Just curious of how well they tend to hold together. Thanks!

i've used them for a little while they shot great except that once you get out there at 40 or 50 yards the aarows seem like they start to sail a little bit.

i just made the switch to the quik spin vane (glue on vane) and have shot them for about a week and so far im really impressed.  a friend of mine uses the quik spins on the shrink wrap that you just dip in hot water, he says they shoot just as good as the glue on quik spins and seem to be just as tough, but he also only shoots for about two weeks before the season so it may not be a fair testimony towards the toughness of the shrink wrap system

hope this helps

Just tried them on some arrows with chewed up vanes.  Cleaned my shafts off and did the dip in boiling water.  Pretty cool, really.  Instant cresting and fletching.  The shrink wrap leaves a material thickness edge on the shaft where it ends but I shoot a drop away rest, so it's no issue.  Seem to fly great and are advertised to hold up under pass-through shots on targets and animals.  That has yet to be seen but I vote thumbs up  :tup:

That being said, I enjoy hand cresting and building custom arrows, but for the quick repair or just personal preference, they seem like a great solution.

there supose to increse accuracy, but they slow your arrow down, especially down range... ull find youll have to gap your pins more to comp. especially 50+ :twocents:

I shot the quikspin fletching last year.  Great under 30 yards.  I notice it slows the arrow down quicker at further distances.  It helped tighten the group as well.
Cut em!

I did six arrows with the Quick Fletch Twisters Vanes.  So far so good.  I have had to pull them through my 3D deer target, without any effect on the fletching.  Mind you they don't have the little kicker (quick spin) on the end of each fletch.

I too have a drop away rest, so the tiny lip created by the tubing is a non issue.  I have heard of guys putting some glue on the leading edge of the tubing.

I am gonna hunt with mine for sure!
