Vanes and arrow flight

[archersquest]

After several years of shooting a Raven 100 grain broad head I am looking at changing heads. Raven went out of business and I can no longer get blades etc. for them. I looked at ram cats but they shot way right, I got my old rage two blade practice head out and it shot good at 20 and 30 yards. At 40 and on it shoots right with my Easton Power flights 400 gr. I have heard that by changing vanes this could help put me back on the mark. Would like to hear what you all think. Thanks

Sounds like you need to tune your bow. I doubt the vanes have anything to do with it.

I don't know the specifics of your set up, but of you are a right handed shooter and your arrows hit to the right, the arrow spine could be to weak. Why don't you let me know what you are shooting, what bow, weight, draw length, and the specs on your arrows, and I can probably help you out.

As said.......a lot goes into the equation, and vanes are just one part of it. If Ramcats didn't fly well for you, that's you or your setup.........probably not your vanes.

Just to update everyone it was me. I was tilting my bow just a bit, did not notice it till I had a friend stand behind me and placed a camera just off to the side of me in front. Just before the shot I would tilt my bow. Thanks for the help everyone.
