Mine seem really tough and shoot well for me. I use a 75 grain brass HIT and a 25 grain IW collar.

 

Sounds like a solid setup.

 

I set up six of them last season and they flew good, but ultimately went with 5mm axis for my set up. Vanes are tricky with the small diameter, blazers did fine for me; even out to 80-100 yards. Never did shoot an animal with them but in 3D targets they buried deep. 75g outsert gave me great FOC.

 

I am used to fletching .166 id shafts, so fletching these will not be a problem at all. Just trying to decide on what fletching to use. Thanks for telling me about your experiences with them. Sound like they are going to be an arrow that I can get really good FOC with.

 

The RIP TKO are the same size as Axis... do you mean VAPs?

 

Same here. I have several Q2i vanes I plan to try. Might even throw some quik spins on there for grins. Ya never know what is going to work the absolute best for your particular setup.

 

With good foc you won’t need much for fletching. They are tack drivers.

110 yard group the other day. Might drop to a 3 fletch I almost have to much fletch from my testing. Have 225 grains up front for 20% foc.

Wow, that is some crazy good shooting! Good to hear on the fletchings. I had planned to run at least 200 up front, but I will have the weights to add to it to play with a few weights until I get what I want. Cool stuff.

 

Great Arrow!

I'm shooting the 350 spine cut to 27.25" c to c.
70 grain Ethics SS Halfouts with 100 grain points. 440gr TAW. Somewhere around 16% FOC if that even matters. Bow is 60#, 28" DL.

I have used a lot of different .204 ID shafts and these have been some of the best I've used. I plan on buying another dozen here shortly.

These are my favorite vanes for shooting fixed blade broadheads. From left to right, Q2i Fusion X II 1.75" in 4 fletch, Easton Bully Boattail 2", Q2i Raptor Zeon, Q2i Fusion II 2.1". The 2 in the middle are RIP TKO.

 

Do you prefer one vane over another of the ones you have listed above. I have all three of those Q2i vanes, no Bully vanes though
