1 Vane.

Weird. They look draggy.

Maybe with the spin rate they are but I don't think so? I hate fletching arrows!

 

[Geewhiz]

Regardless they are different and I wholeheartedly support innovation and thinking outside the box.

Looks like it would hang up on the exit. Like pulling a field tip out of a bag target. Can’t imagine it not weighing a lot.

Interesting idea. On another forum the founder said they weigh 20-23 grains. Pretty on par with 3 vanes. I have to imagine these are flexible or brittle. Someone pointed out these are likely a no-go for whisker biscuit shooters. Website will officially launch later this week.

I won’t be the guinea pig but this has potential.

Blazers are 6.1 by their website so this is 3-4 grains higher if they aren't stupid expensive I'd get some to try out just to see.

That's how I feel about fletching arrows.

Reminds me of FOBs from a few years back. I shot those and they worked well. They were designed to detach at pass thru. Made finding pass thru arrows about impossible.

I would love to see a speed comparison test/accuracy test.

I did not watch the video, my prediction; it’s just more ridiculousness looking for clicks on the Internet

What sense does it make to have the back of your arrow unbalanced and wobbling in flight? If there was any advantage, pros or top shooters would be using it.

 

[dtrkyman]

I have some on the way so we shall see.

How would top pros be shooting it? It just became available.

"It just became available"...right, This is some new fangled invention. <face palm>

No one in history could have possibly tried this before? PT Barnum was right.

Show me something similar.

Different material, different profile, different way to attach to arrows.

I’ve tried many of the vane alternatives and they all shot really well and grouped with vanes, they just had some aspects I didn’t like and these might address those issues!

And I don’t have “fletch” arrows!

I don’t think I’ve seen them claiming it is more advantageous than normal fletchings, nor do I know why anyone would think it is. But if it’s close enough, it’s worth way less hassle of having to fletch traditional vanes. Obviously if it makes your arrow wobble they will immediately go out of business. The idea is all about convenience

This looks pretty clever and innovative to me. Good on him. I hope he succeeds.
