UV Vane

[doverpack12]

I did some searching and didn’t find anything about the UV Vane. I like to test and try new vanes but almost always end up back with AAE Max Stealth in an Arizona EZ Fletch helical jig.

Currently mostly Max Stealths
Few Iron Will 2.5 but I don’t like how high they are, otherwise they work well.
Few 5 fletch AAE max 2.3 and AAE 2.3 Airrazor in 5 fletch. These seem to fly right with max stealth but are slow fletching on a Bitz.
I really like AAE Max 1.6 in a 6 fletch. Pretty quick to fletch with 2 rounds in an Arizona EZ.

The UV looks pretty close to dimensions and weight of max stealths.

I have no interest in the UV arrow but has anyone shot the vanes? Thoughts?

Well I went all in on new vanes for 2026. I’ll have plenty of fletching and shooting to do.

Ordered
-Ultraview UV 1K, likely 3 fletch
-AAE Airazor 26 (for a 4 fletch matching Max Stealth 3 fletch weight)
-AAE Airazor Talon 3.0, 3 fletch
-DCA Mini Sabre, didn’t like the supers but might have been the high profile. Planning 3 fletch Arizona EZ, 4 fletch bitz 2-2.5 helical and maybe 3 fletch bitz.
-Bohning Alpha 2.8” 3 fletch
-Altra 2.5” Pinnacle 3 fletch Arizona EZ, 3 fletch bitz and maybe 4 fletch bitz.

I like the altras, they seem like a pretty cool option

I have shot the UV arrow and have put the UV vanes on some Easton LR 4mm. I didn't notice that they stabilized broadheads any better than stealth's, but they are very quiet and consistent in weight and shape.

They do "yellow" over time and dont hold the white color well.

Altra’s are Nice.

Good to hear on the Altras and UV Vanes. How have those been fletched for those that have used them?

The altras Ive only shot 3 fletch right helical with a bitz. No reason to shoot more than 3 of them unless you really like fletching and want to draw it out a little longer

Like most things archery, I dabbled all over with 6 fletch, 5 fletch, 4 fletch, and 3 fletch… I used to really like 6 blazer minis, it was a great setup, but I have circled back to only 3 fletch, if 3 doesn’t steer good enough, I’m using the wrong vanes, there are a ton of good 3 fletch vanes, the altra being one.

I have a feeling I’m just going to roll with airazr 26’s. I have been trying a bunch of different vane combos the past few weeks, and the 26’s give me a little more clearance, which is a good thing on my mg33, love the bow but the cable guard is dumb

Aren't the UV vanes just TAC vanes? Sure look like it, but I could be wrong.

The Altra vanes are just rebranded Q2I, which are pretty solid in my experience.

UV are most likely a refurb on the vanes Q2i makes for victory, they get all their other components from victory as well. The outserts are 4.5mm versions of victory 4mm outserts, and they use IP nocks like victory, victory most likely dust the assembly and fletching as well.
