Title: vanes
Post by: coachcw on August 09, 2010, 06:20:24 PM: What vanes have you guys had the best luck flying broad heads on carbon arrows? I'm shooting the weight forward maxima camo hunters and I'm torn between four inch or four fletch blazers . I'm shooting a fall away rest so contact wont be an issue .

Post by: carpsniperg2 on August 09, 2010, 06:26:11 PM: i shoot 4 fletch blazers on all my compound arrows, max out the offset and good to go. i also shoot a 125grain montec out of a 83 lb xforce and it spins them true :IBCOOL:

Post by: colockumelk on August 10, 2010, 04:06:39 AM: I shoot 3 2" blazers with 3 degree offset and they steer my 125grain tipped shaft like lazers. At 50yds my groups are 4". Of course that could also be me superior shooting ability as well :chuckle:

Post by: Jellymon on August 10, 2010, 05:47:20 PM: I started out with 4" duravanes with a good helical but couldnt get good groups with my broadheads, my bow was tuned very well and my arrows were spinning perfectly. I fletched them with 3 two inch blazers with a 3deg helical, and now without changing anything else I am shooting 5 inch groups at 60 yds with broadheads. I wont go back to 4" again! :IBCOOL:
