Who makes the best all around vane FOR HUNTING?

Your full opinion is welcome here! 😁🎯🏹🫶
They aren't all created equal. Tell me your Good & Bad experiences. Include noise levels, ease of installation, quality of adhesion, & so on...no matter how unscientific it is.

Every grain matters, but if you pay attention its possible to run a 4 fletch lighter than some 3 fletch configurations.

3 vs.4- IMO, most broadheads don't need a 4th. But if you're running a small vane a 4th could increase your rear drag to make a difference without having to switch to a longer vane witch will make a arrow more susceptible to wind drift.

Parachuting, Lift, Drag.... what's it all mean & how do you plan for the right recipe?:

Lift: is the leading edged of the vane; its job is to stay rigid & cut into the wind & leverage the air into rotation.
Drag: is the air density on the back side of the vane.

That's a very rough explanation but you always have both & if one becomes far greater than the other a Vortex of un-seeable air mixture can cause "parachuting". Basically its to much drag but its caused by multiple factors. Vane height, vane profile, total surface area, & the amount of offset ran. The biggest way we can pick up on this as humans is the audible differences down range or with lab radar & measurement of speed loss at longer distance.

That's enough nerd chat, but noise is a huge factor in the deer woods. I personally try to build an arrow that's a small percentage of drag over my broadhead choice & as quiet as possible. While lastly trying to pick the lightest weight option to maintain as much FOC as possible while running lighted nocks. My builds become very specific sometimes although I admittedly love 2⁰ offset year round & in every color imaginable 😉 as long as its white!
(Vane weights may not align with advertised weights as i just tossed them on a cheap grain scale)
