Thought I would show ya’ll just how crazy it was to start building a house just prior to and during hunting season. What was I thinking? Me and the Misses are excited and a little nervous. One thing I did do smart was to make the basement 75-feet long (translation 20-yard indoor range).
If anyone has recommendations on websites to shop interior ideas and design ideas, please let me know .
Thanks,
Travis and family
I have gotten several emails lately wanting me to describe and give my opinions on the new style vanes that are on the market. Mainly, the new Blazer vane and QuikSpins.
First up, Blazers. These vanes are very popular and offer a quiet flight, durable plastic, and maintains its speed and flat trajectory downrange. They steer mechanicals and the ferruled, small-cut fixed broadheads real well, ut if there is a negative, I really don’t think they steer larger or average-sized broadheads very well.
Next is the QuikSpins by NAP. They came in a variety of lengths: 2-inch, 3-¼ and 4 inch. I personally like the 3¼-inch vane; it provides excellent steering on any type of broadhead setup, and even when your setup is a little marginal, the air foil on the rear of the shaft is providing 300 percent more rotation than a 3% offset. That translates to extreme forgiveness. The QuikSpins are a touch slower at long distances, but, in my opinion, a slower hit is better than a fast miss.
In closing, I think both vanes are good vanes and will perform well. But, if you put a gun to my head I would go with the QuikSpin.
Hope this has shed some light. By all means, let us know what ya’ll think.
