I have some on Beaman ICS Hunter shafts, and they work great. I'm playing around with some 2" blazers, and 3" duravanes right now. But if nothing else works, I'll fall back on the quickspins.

They are a great vane for stability. However that is where it ended for me. I found the quickspins to be about as durable as wrapping paper. IMHO, they do not offer much of an improvement over a blazer in the flight department. The little improvement that is offered is cancelled by them being twice the price and only a fraction as durable as a blazer.
Good Luck!
It's not how far a shot, it's how close you got.

I have the 2inch blazers on mine....and found that they made a big improvement in the overall flight of my arrows. The only negitave thing I have heard about them is that some people that shoot a "limp Whisker" rest have had a problem with them comming off while going through the rest. I dont shoot that rest....and have had no problem with mine. I do put a dot of glue on the leading end of the vein for good measure though. They are very stiff and durable as beauxhunter said.

I have shot the 4 inch quickspins through a whisker biscuit for two years now and love them. I did see an improvement in my grouping out past 30 yrds. After tonight I will be able to tell you how the speed hunters perform out of the wifes bow. But the one thing I do recomend you do is put a little glue on the front tip like JD sugested.

I switched from Quick Spins to 2" blazers and like the blazers much better. For me.. the groups are better with the blazers. The Quick Spins did not last too long either... got tore up all the time.

Testing is showing me that the 3" duravanes are grouping better right now. The 2" blazers aren't far off, and it seems like the farther I move them foward on the arrow, the better they group. Make sense to anyone? I figured the farther to the rear they were, the better they'd steer the arrow. Also, is anyone here offsetting the blazers, or is everyone fletching them straight?
