Want to try shorter vane is weight a concern

[adill84]

I shoot VAP TKO with hybrid HPs and get random fletching contact on my rest which I’m sure is a shooter problem. Plan on shooting Hydes on an elk hunt and want to try a lower vane for a little peace of mind. Will adding or subtracting weight from the vanes effect tune or just pick one and rezero? Local shop usually has AAE stuff so I’m steering towards something from them to just get a few test arrows done.

I would definitely consider weight on a short babe.

Sorry... I don't know anything about different vanes. Thought your title was funny.

Oops, weight is a concern in every aspect in life but let’s circle back to vane weights specifically lol

I'd go with a AAE Max Stealth, or if lighter Airrzr 26. It probably won't change your tune at all.

What rest? while not ruling out shooter form error, rests and/or setup can also be a culprit and more solid fix then altering vane configuration.

Sidenote: what is your current fletch config?

If really needing to clean up clearance a hyb 23 is pretty small and low profile. I would try 3 with a hyde, but would likely feel more confident with 4 vane setup. It will technically change your tune, but I would not over think it at all. Vane profile, configuration, and current tune level matter much more than the weight adjustment IMO.

It’s an mx2 VAP TKO 3 hybrid hps fletched with Arizona mini max to left. I think going to the 23 is way more than needed
