Looking to get another Doz arrows to build up for September and WA curious what size and type of vanes do you all use? And also do you use a 3 fletch or 4 fletch and do you see a difference in the two?

I havw used AAE Plastifletch vanes for a while but they are the shorter 2.375"
Thinking of going to the 2.875" but unsure on 3 fletch or 4

I’ve been using the Tac drivers for a few years now. Im liking them well. A slight offset, 3 vane. I have been staggering them. Still debating on if that makes much any difference. I’ve heard theories…

flex fletch 360. I use the 360-x they're a little stiffer, quieter and steer great on my 4mm Easton long range

Blazers right now. I'd do max hunters as well. I shoot a fixed broadhead and need the steering on the back end. Taller vanes do better with my setup for me.

Switching to 3 Q2i Raptors for this coming season. They check all the boxes for me. Durable, perfect stiffness, easy to fletch, and the right size(height) for great broadhead control!

I like the Predator-X better. The rounded edge seems to be quieter.

I am back to max stealth across the board. Stick well, crazy durable, fly well with both fixed and mechanical broadheads, quite enough. I am done experimenting.

How dare you? Don't you know you're supposed to ABT? Always be tinkering? Or was it about to be broke? I can't remember.

This mindset benefits manufacturers more than the archer. They have to be grinning ear to ear when guys are running Iron Will or MFJJ components to shoot 3d archery like TAC.

I really like the Tacs after I figured out the gluing part. I hardly ever have to replace one. I was always fixing replacing the max stealth. The flight of the max stealth was great just always ripping off the arrow.

Blazer x2 mostly. Have a set of arrows with Zingers as well which are great as I hate fletching arrows!

A few summers ago I had 4 sets of vane configurations as well as 3 and 4 fletch on a set of arrows and they all shot well and grouped together at 60 yards.

I just switched from max stealths to EZ Vanes, the ones I got are almost the same profile as the max stealth and have almost the same POI at 80 yards with broadheads they are just slightly lighter. I'm a huge fan so far and I can have them installed and shooting in about 2 minutes. With my glue-in points, I can cut, square, wrap and fletch an arrow in about 5 minutes and be shooting.

Max stealths on one setup. Only gripe is they are heavier but I'm not convinced its enough to matter. I also have some set up with the DCA super sabres that fly well and are relatively quiet for a high profile.

Switched to ez-vanes in a four fletch. Couldn’t be more pleased. Pulled one through a target yesterday and seems no worse for the wear. I’ll not be going back to regular fletching. I think I spent more time getting the logo off the shafts than setting the vanes and points.
