2026 Arrow Setup

Heat vanes are awesome. Really quiet. I shoot them (3 fletch offset) with mechanicals (Grim Reaper and G5 T2s). I struggle with fixed heads unless running 4 fletch helical. Bohning Alpha vanes (3 fletch helical) work great for fixed blades out of my setup.

That’s good to hear. What’s your arrow weight and what poundage are you shooting?
 
I have used 3 and 4 vane configs with the heats. Have ended up with the 4 vane with some offset for past 4 seasons with excellent results, I have no reason to change other than I like messing with stuff. Quiet. durable, provides nice clearance. Lots to love. No trouble shooting multiple mechanicals and vented fixed out to triple digit yardages. Solid 2 blades they also work. Although, if that was my go to head I would likely use a different config.
3 fletch was only OK imo. It works for mechanical and some fixed heads but was to finicky for my preference. Setups had to be perfect or they got wobbly.

I shoot a similar bow setup to you 80sih pounds and 28.5 DL. I generally setup up arrow weights to hit the 285 to 295 window.

As far as arrows go I can get away with 300 and bounce between them and 250. I cut short as possible and don't over load the front. Have shot the 5.0 with good results and the FMJ max. The FMJ build in 300 spine comes in at a little closer to my target weight for speed without softening the spine so used them this past season and really liked them. If doing 250 spine I would look hard at two options the Axis LR 4mm you mentioned and the RIP TKO from victory. If doing the 4mm the Podium titanium inserts are a good upgrade.
