New Iron Will Vanes??

[bergie]

Heard on Phelps podcast the Iron Will is coming out with some new vanes that stabilize as well as the hybrid hunters but are quieter than the max stealths. After listening to the podcast, I am not as convinced as I used to be that vane noise plays a huge role, however I will always think that less noise >>> more noise. Anyone got any insider info on exact release date, or better yet some details on what they will look like?

They are just an aae vane with an iron will logo if I’m not mistaken, iron will paid for a big vane test by physics nerds at cu boulder. There is the conclusions posted somewhere on this site. Basically a higher shorter vane will help steer fixed blades better. Seemed like solid scientific work done by IW

That is the hybrid hunter, they are coming out with a new one, supposed to be released in August.

Yeah hybrid hunter material, but a hunter profile. So they look like a hunter

Hopefully the material is less flexile on the new ones. I stopped using the hybrid hunter for two reasons. 1. fletch tight wouldn't stick to them. 2. They get easily deformed when in use

I had a horrible time trying to get that hybrid material to stick.

Did you use the prep pen? It’s an activator for their glue. Won’t work without it

Did you find a glue that worked?

From the AAE website...

I guess this is what they recommend. https://arizonaarchery.com/product/max-bond/




It looks like CA

I tried MEK for prep which didn't improve adhesion. Any idea what solvent is in the primer pen?

Aae primer pen, worked great for me

I got a bag of the IW hybrid hunter AAE vanes and I think they are great. It’s a different material than the regular Max hunter, which never came in an hybrid, and is a bit stiffer, quieter and a little bit lighter. These are a new vane designed by IW, thus never produced by AAE in the prior offerings to the public. I’ve been using the Q2i Steel Bond glue but I think any cyanoacrylate glue works fine, no primer pen needed. They stick to my platinum pierce arrows like concrete. Steer my IW heads perfectly in tune with my FPs.

No, these days I don’t really screw with stuff. If it doesn’t work it’s straight back to Blazers.

Just fletched some of their originals to try and Gorilla super glue holds fine on RIP TKO shafts. That said these vanes definitely hiss more than my Q2i 4 fletch setup.

I build approximately 10-13 dozen arrows a year for various buddies, relatives, and myself. Using AAE max bond, Tac vane glue, or my personal favorite BSI maxi cure all work great without a primer pen if you have even 1/2 decent contact between vane and shaft or wrap.

Maxi cure seems to have a better bottle that keeps the glue from drying out or oxidizing. Been using the same bottle for 4 years and it works wonders on any vane. If using a MAX material from AAE, or a vane like a TAC or DCA, primer pen is required though.

The 1st paragraph is only directed @ HYBRID material vanes from AAE

The weight is definitely up there. At my draw length, to get a decent foc arrow I gotta drop to a RIP XV shaft @450 grains.

If FOC means much anymore

I just wish he’d offer them in yellow/pink as well. I’ll probably end up ordering some regardless haha

Man I was excited about this but for over double the cost of the AAE Max Stealths I can't justify it.

Same weight as Max Stealth.
