Nap Quickfletch on a firebolt!!!

[curtisgreen110683]

I was very leary to put these to work with my one string kllin machine but I figured it couldn't hurt to doll up the bolts I had already shot the vanes off of so I went ahead and tried em out and in my opinion they shot just as good as the firebolts did with the original 4'' vanes from the factory. In addition, these are clean and easy to put on,and I imagine they shouldn't be to bad to take off. Now one thing I am concerned about is how they will hold up in the event of a pass through shot. I won't really mind because I'll be doing the back strap boogie and these things are 6pcs. for $20 at my local outdoor store... I shot them into the middle(By middle I mean depth not poi) of my layered target and it didn't seem to hurt them at all. I did notice that they hum in flight just a little bit, probably due to the molded lip(very small) on the tip of all three vanes to make it spin faster. I honestly don't think the deer, turkey, yote, and various other quadrupeds I barrel down on will mind. To each is own, I like them and will probably continue to replace damaged vanes with these instead of the traditional 4" vanes. The ease of using these things I think are what I like the most, just place on bolt and dip in boiling water... Nice! If anybody has tips, suggestions or if there is other products like this that work better let me know... 15 days til season here in Ohio, good luck to all and be safe!!!

Good review. They look good.

I personally like a clean arrow. I even scrap off the Easton label. Boring, I know.

Thanks for the review.

May I ask why?

Can't answer for Sumner, but I do the same w/ acetone on new GT shafts. If you even touch the labels w/ acetone rag, they fade some, interfere w/ cresting, just end up looking worse than a bare shaft.

Think Sax uses those Quick spins and really stacks the deer up.

Same as awshucks. They wear off along the rail as you shoot them. They also weigh a little and that little bit of weight is on the wrong end of the arrow. So, it hurts your FOC slightly. I see no benefits in the label other than advertisment.

It's all in my head. . .I can't stop.

Funny . . .none of the adjustments I made to my bow(set-up) really makes a big difference in the performance of the bow. However, in my head, I feel like the total of all the little things makes a little difference. Hopefully, enough to make a shot when I need it.

Bottom line is . . .it's all in my head. Right off the shelf, the Exomax is deadly. Sure is fun playing around, regardless.

Are they both both Quickfleth and Quick Spins?

[curtisgreen110683]

If I'm not mistaken yes... Quickfletch, boil on application and they have the quickspin lip on the vanes.

I see that you are form NE Ohio, as I am also. Who is your local bow shop? Just looking for other places out there. I live in Northern Trumbull county.

Kames in North Canton... I honestly prefer dealing with Larry down at the W.V. Cabela's archery dept... but when I need a quick fix I take the 10th minute drive to kames or Dicks in belden village (excalibur dealer) ... Larry at cabelas shoots a exomax and he really took good care of me when I bought my phoenix... what is your shop of choice?

ROFLMAO...I'm the same way. I mean, geez, I'm chipping nocks off of my arrows when I'm shooting groups all the way out to 50 yards and I think I need to make it shoot tighter groups? It has to be some type of compulsive, recessive disorder!

Of course, I'm the same way with handloading, muzzle loading and even shooting my compound and recurve. I think there is always a better, more accurate method or component that I'm missing.

BTW, I'll be heading to Bass Pro this weekend to get me some of these QuikSpin Quikfletch to try them on my Laser II Kinetics....because you never know...they may be a tad more accurate than my 2" Blazer 2216's....

Where does it end?....

[curtisgreen110683]

I hope they work for ya, the package says they make tighter groups and I'm sold.... and as for where it ends, I hope it never does!

I'm begining to believe that at hunting ranges it doesn't much matter what vane you use.
I fletched these in just a few moments

And they shoot great ( the arrow on the right has a different broadhead)

but so do these

and these


put on what floats your boat and enjoy.

Looks like they have a lot of offset. Should put plenty of spin on the arrow.
With broadheads that's a good thing.

I have two shops that are close, one is called the Sports shop, and the other is called Autumn addiction. Both guys seem to be very nice. I have been going to the Sports shop for years, and have purchased a couple of guns off of him. Both are Excal dealers. If you know where Mosquito Lake is they are not to far away.
