Bow choice dilemma

[Brendan]

I read the info from Firenock and was surprised he specified certain braodheads for the vanes. Figured it was a co-marketing/branding/money thing. DO you have any experience with them yourself? I plan to try them on a new batch of arrows and don't want to reinvent the wheel to get the damn things to fly straight.

I have much more limited testing, nowhere near as much as Jeff, but if you're shooting broadheads, you're better off just not using them. There are plenty of tests out there on AT if you search. I have his Jig, a bunch of his vanes, and I don't shoot them on my hunting arrows.

Guess I should've updated this thread haha. I've switched to a 2016 Bowtech Prodigy with GT Pro Hunter 300 with a 4 fletch vanetec super spine. Love this thing! I just couldn't get used to the obsession.

I have 3 years of extensive testing with AV2 and the AV3. This is not a money thing, back door agreement thing, this is the fact that the vanes spin the arrow so fast, nothing will fly with them. I did not buy it either and since I already had his jig (which is 10x better than any other jig on the market) so I spent 3 years trying to get them to fly on every bow/arrows combination I can come up with. I have even shot machanicals with them. NO GO.

It frustrates me because he is really on to something. I hit 6" high at 60 yards with his vanes. They fly like darts but can not get a BH to fly.

I will say this. I have shot slick tricks, German Kinetic and the Ramcat into a 18:1 and they twist so much after impact, I have to cut them out. I have torn up a perfectly good 18:1 shooting broad heads guided but the AV. They are really something to hold...

If I was an avid 3D shooter, I would not consider shooting anything else.

WOW. Great info and thank you for sharing that with us. I will have to reconsider my choice for fletching my new arrows for my DefCon. Thanks!!
