Before I get started there are going to be a bunch of you that just say why'd you go through all this work for such a little change. Well I am going to tell you. And it was my money, time, and decision to do this, not yours. In previous years I was running a 4 fletch of Tac Driver 2.25 vanes with a green wrap and green vanes. There are many reasons I wanted to change this so here they are.
- I wanted to get away from green because where I hunt in MN has a lot of grass and finding a green arrow in green grass is not easy. I know I have a lighted nock but if it's midday that don't do me much good. I also wanted to have some white vanes to make it easier to see blood on my arrow after I would shoot one. So I went with an orange wrap and 2 orange vanes and 2 white vanes
- I am switching from a fixed to mechanical head this year so I wanted smaller vanes that are a little quieter and give me a SLIGHTLY faster arrow with SLIGHTLY more FOC. I say slightly because I did not do this switch for these reasons alone, it is just something I gained a little of during the switch.
- And the main reason I switched is because I was losing confidence in that vane configuration. I don't know why but I just never had 110% confidence in it. So I wanted to switch to something completely new that I can start over with and gain confidence in.
My setup and thoughts. My final arrow weight now is 515 grains with a 13.2% FOC. The wraps on the back are onestringer which I already like way more than the TAC wraps I used before. I am verry happy with this setup. Like I said above I am switching broadheads from a QAD Exodus to the G5 Deadmeat. I have not shot the arrows or new broadheads yet. But a new target is getting delivered today so that will commence tonight
The new airazr vanes are sick. Lighter then the max vanes and stick extremely well with no prep is awesome. They are much stiffer as well. I can see these becoming more popular then the max vanes when these catch on. Not quite as stiff as the tac vanes I had. But still a stiff vane. I am very excited to put all of this stuff through the ringer. And I will definitely write a response once I shoot these vanes and broadheads in the coming days. If you guys have any questions lets have a conversation!
