Has anyone done side by side testing of the Ironwill and the Super Sabres? I am already looking forward to tinkering some after this season since I have already committed to my setup for this year.

My priorities are fixed head flight, durability, wind drift, noise and then drag, in that order. I haven't messed with vanes a whole lot only have two years of us with both TAC 2.75 Drivers and Max Stealths 2.6. My general consensus of the two is that they both steer broad heads as good as I feel I can shoot, noise is negligible (To my ears, I'm often considered to be deaf) , wind drift seemed to be slightly better out of the TAC vanes. TAC takes the cake on durability and its not even close, feel like I am constantly having to replace a stealth. Granted I am very hard on everything I touch so it may not be the vanes fault.

Does anyone think that the IW or DCA are superior to the TACs? If I can justify spending $100+ on vanes to do side by side testing I will but I would rather put that money towards more arrows or broad heads. Any insight is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Both the new Iron Will 2.5s and DCA Super Sabres are said to be as quiet or quieter than Max Stealths. The Iron Will 2.5s are a little heavier than the DCA Super Sabres, 9.0 gr vs 7.1 gr. The DCA Super Sabres have less side profile, so should have less wind drift.

As far as drag goes I do not know. The Iron Will 2.5s are a more streamlined shape that should have less drag, but the DCA Super Sabres are molded vanes with rounded edges that should also help with drag. Some testing would be needed in this category.

They both are tall vanes that will steer fixed blade broadheads well. Which will steer them better? Who knows. The Iron Will 2.5s have more surface area, but the DCA Super Sabres have more surface area high and back.
