five inchers on the way out

Post by M&M »

I was just at my dealers to buy some new arrows and my 2216s now have 4 inch vanes instead of 5 inchers they said that they weren't making them with the 5 inch vanes any more, but I figured that the trend seems to be with shorter vanes with you fellas that make your own any way so they might even shoot a little better

I started with 5" vanes, then went to 4" vanes, now 2" Blazer vanes.
Can't see any accuracy change with any of them.

The shorter the vane the more helical possible (to clear the rail).
With 5" vanes 8° helical will hit the sides of the track. :wink:

I still use the 5" but only because I had a good inventory. When they are all used I'll probably try the blazers.
