Love the videos, I really hope you do a follow up with your thoughts on the vanes as you shoot them more. It would also be interesting to know your thoughts or see a test with those vanes and a couple of different broadheads. I am sure mechanical will work with any of them, but will there be a difference when you put on your average fixed blade? I went with the heat vanes this year( I have run blazer the past 4 years) on axis arrows. We will see how they work.
6:26 Chris bee actually missed the freakin target
Try the tac vanes; I was hesitant because so many people talk about the glue-ability. I tried them and they are no more difficult than the aae vanes but they're cement on the shaft. If they are coming off they're taking the arrow wrap with them. Super stiff and fly great.
Love this kind of testing! Keep these videos coming! Would love to see a more in depth test of different configurations!
I have loved the Heats for my hunting arrows (this is just something I’ve heard but the heats are supposed to have the same surface area as a blazer and steer broad heads just as well) I haven’t checked this yet
Chrisbee!!! I use the Heat 3 fletch for tourneys; Xvane 4 fletch for hunting. Both are stiff and quiet! Real fond of a therma-cell for skeeters... 100% works!
Sure helped my wait at the dentist go faster. Love seeing new uploads. Hope to see you in Kentucky, if you go. 👊🏻🐝🏹
Great video! What do you think of the bohning x vanes in 2.25 for hunting? I have only used the regular 2 inch blazers. TIA!
Good content and great form. I am trying to mimic your form. My problem is that my pin doesn’t stay on my aiming spot, so I get trigger happy; though since I changed my draw technique (and bought a new bow), my shots are more consistent and with less shoulder fatigue. Keep it up, man!
What’s up Mr. Chris, I love your channel. Keep up the good work. Also, I can’t wait for deer season! Your edits are the best I’ve ever seen.
Hey Chris, two suggestions...a phoneskope for use on your spotting scope would work really well and a thermacell for the bugs!!!
The purpose of vanes is to generate "lift" to rotate/spin the arrow. The taller the leading edge the more lift - a tall narrower sail/wing creates more lift than a shorter broader sail /wing - with same surface areas. Longer lower profile vanes will create less lift and stabilize less than a taller shorter profile vane. Aerodynamics. What level of noise will a deer react to - 5 decibels is less than 7 db - but does that make a difference to a deer - or will he try and duck both?
This video is coming in clutch. Just started building new arrows. Good work Chris
When you film your videos and hunts do you film everything in 4K or do you switch back and forth between the 4K and 1080?
I am going to fletch some arrows with the 2.25 X vanes. Do you like 3 or 4 fletch with fixed blades? Do think 3 vanes would have enough steering? Thanks!
Always a good day when Chris bee uploads (:!!
Great Content Chris. Thanks for working through the mosquito issue. Which fletching jig are you using in the video?
So after all this which one was definitely the quietest? Very interested, thanks for vid. Currently shooting normal blazers for hunting
Awesome video man!! Always jump to it when I see a new video you post! You should also try tac vanes and make a review on those!👊🔥
I tested the following at 80 yards for the upcoming hunting season, and the quietest to loudest for me were: 1. Bohning Heat/Tac Driver 2.75 2. AAE Max Stealth 3. Q2i-Fusion X-II 4. Bohning Blazer 5. 2" GT Raptor If I had to give an edge between the Heat and Tac Driver on sound, I'd probably lean slightly toward the Heat, but I like the idea of a 3 fletch TAC vs a four fletch with the Heat vane for fixed heads at long range. Less weight in the back. Thanks for the video. I love the process of tweaking.
Thermacell brother!!
I’ve been wondering if you were going to do a fletching video. Very informative, keep up the great content!!
Great video,good information because I am just getting some new arrows fletched.
Have you tried the x3 vanes? If so what'd you think? I just got some im gonna use on some GT ultralight shafts
Hi Chris, nice vid. what poundage bow are you using here?
Not so much a question about the vanes but do you always use a limb driven rest? For hunting?
Have you tried the TacVanes? Harder and stronger to clean out exit wounds during pass through. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Sorry, missed the 1st part of my question. What fletcher do you use ?
Finally a video about vanes!! 🔥
What is that clicking sound coming from your release ? Safety ? Or some type of staging ?
What kind of jig did you use for fletching the arrows
Hey Chris, would you be able to do a brief review of the american white tail targets or like the merrell fita target that you shoot on? Thanks Chris!
What grains arrows you shooting ? I’ve been doing this for the past 3 weeks cause I got a new bow
Great video content! I love the Heat vanes but I been wanting to try those X vanes too!
Got the New, 3 inch X .48 tall, Bohning X-3 Vanes ( Lighter Wt than, old X Vanes ) coming, to Compare to, 2.7" Max stealth, W/ 3 Degrees of Helic. for my 3 Bladed, B-H's. Heard that, the Heats, WON'T "steer", the FIXED B-H's well, out of, "Some" Bows. They ARE, Very accurate Vanes with, the Mechanical B-H's and, Field Points, tho !
Are you running your vanes with a left or right helical?
I did a similar test. The 3" Bohning X vanes worked best for me. We'll see what works best when I build up some new arrows
Yup,.. It takes, 3 of, the 2.7 inch AAE Max Stealth's or, Bohning X-3, 3" Vanes with, 2 or 3 Degrees of Helical / OffSet,.. to "control" / Spin,.. most Fixed, B-H's ! THREE of the 2.88" long, VaneTec Swifts and 3 inch, VT V-Maxes also,.. "Get it, Done" with, 3 Degrees of, Helical. I'd AVOID all 2.5 inch or shorter Vanes,.. UN-Less going, 4 Fletch with, Fixed B-H's
I was always told a straight vane is quieter than a twist vane. Also a straight vane is faster less drag. It’s been about 15 years ago sense I quit bow hunting just getting back into it . Please explain if I’m wrong love to hear the new thoughts on it.
Should I run 3 or 4 vane with bohning heats, been thinkin 4 vane
Nice video, i love the Musik you choose for your videos it gives them a cool laid back kind if feel, like chilling out and just having fun with archery stuff. Love it :-)
Great video ! I do the same thing with every dozen arrows I get ! I’ll try 4 different configurations on every 3 arrows to see what works best !
Would you be willing to do an update to this video? Could you shoot more groups and then show us where the arrows group and which groups are bigger or smaller? Would you be able to do a video about shooting in windy conditions (perhaps you already have??)? Perhaps you could do some groups with different offset for the same vane, and let us see how the arrows group? Thanks for informative content.
Nice video and interesting. I don't understand that you can hear the arrows. I can't - but ok, my hearing is also not the best. :-) Plus I don't need a quiet vane as such. I have allways used parabolic vanes and I have almost allways used Easton Diamond or AAE. I don't know if they are especially good, but I like them. I use size 280 for my 3D arrows and 235 for my slightly thinner but way lighter long distance / outdoor target archery ACC arrows.
Do you know where I can buy one of those Morrell FITA targets?
What do you use for those big circular backstops?
If you have a serrated knife with bigger groves it usually fits perfect on an arrow. Great for taking of fletchings and glue.
When the grips getting re stocked i need a green one for my vertix
Neighbour to the rear of your property steps out of bushes with arrow protruding from chest; “C’mon Chris, we talked about this.” 😜 Love the channel and all the instruction man.
He’s back! Let’s get it! You rock chris
I just ordered the 3" X vanes
Do you have a magnifier or a peep clarifier on that set up?
My love from Bohning is the Zen vanes in a four-fletch configuration. AMAZINGLY quiet! I'm testing them out on six arrow setups with the parabolic competition with different arrow setups - My Dangerous Game 250 at 31.5”/50- grain brass insert (amazing. I call this setup”Silent Death.” Other structures: Axis 260/31.5/50, Axis 30/75, ICS 300 30/ no insert, ICS 300 50 (reg insert/ bushing AND collar feathers). The last is a FLYER - 297fps and silent! I definitely notice the difference in parabolic shapes vs shield cuts. I believe this is also in conjunwith my Prime CT9 70#/32”DL. (I'm a shot guy at 6’6”/340) The absolute worse set up for me, is a three-fletched Blazer. They whistle in flight at my weight and setups. But others absolutely LOVE the Blazers!
How do you like your DG? I have a last years mamba 31 and ordered this years mamba 36. Have you been able to compare the DG to their other bows?
You should try the zingers. Just got mine in and they are super light, super durable, and just slide on and stick there.
Hey Chris, you should look into the spartan mosquito eradicators....you add warm water to them and shake them...then hang them along your property on the perimeters.
Bow is loud..or is it because your boxed in where u r shooting or ur shooting light areows
We’re do you get those targets at the big black ones can you tell me please
I love to watch Chris maybe how he tunes and it is just so much fun watching your videos
Great video Chris! Are you doing an unboxing of the black UV2?
What release are you using in this vid?
What type of glue are you using around 4:05 ?
What about noice level? Found out that Blazer type of vanes are, by far, the loudest!! They were about 70 dB, and vanes like Max Stealth were about 60 dB, bare shaft 50 dB.
You should do this again but put them at different angles to see how it affects spin
Does anyone know what happened to bohnings neon yellow color, ive ordered three different sets of them now and they have just bee normal yellow.
I love the videos keep up the good work I prefer a 3 inch shield cut myself
Just a question, any reason you don't use wraps?
love the X 2.25
where do you buy your targets? thanks
I ain’t first but always going to watch the videos in the first 10 mins that it is released. Liked the vid well the ad was going. Keep up the hard work Chris!
Does anyone know the brand, and or name of the giant round targets that that Chris shoots into in his back yard?
Have you ever thought about trying 4 vane arrows. I’ve been using 4 vane arrows for a year now and they perform amazing in windy environments and are very forgiving when you make a bad shot.
Chris I love your vids it’s always good to see what you’ve been using and when you upload vids I always jump on it because I’m soo board
What kind of glue do you use for your veins?
Dope vid tho. I have never used the helicule vanes but they are for sure interesting.
What kind of rest are you using on your Mathews?!?
Where can I get one of these large round foam targets?
Get a thermocell patio shield.. you won't even see a mosquito. That pond is a literal breeding area :)
Im running the heats this year. They are way quieter than the normal blazers
Is that your 31.5’ or 28? My 31.5 came in this Saturday. It feels fantastic.
You should try shooting all the arrows at one spot and see if there is a difference in where a certain vane style groups.
It's been awhile... Like alwayz you editing is on target 🎯
What jog are you using? I’m in the market and wanted to get a bitzenburger til I saw this one
AYE! Just what I needed today.
This is perfect because I'm building some new arrows and thinking if switching up my veins
Vanes bro
You should really check out the easy vanes, super cool product that’d go well with this arrow type.
Chris, why did you not include any flex fletch vanes?
I have shot everything from 5” feathers to micro plastic vanes and my ears are not good enough to hear any of them 😆. Keep the videos coming
Have you ever tried feathers .they are so good at long range I've out shot some of top shooters in my area with them
Hey Chris loved the video!! One thing I would like to suggest is shooting the HEAT vanes with a broad head, because I could not get them to fly right with a broad head. I tried different brands of broad heads different weights everything and could not get them to fly right. You are a professional Archer so you my know exactly how to tune them. Keep the Vids coming there great 👍
Heat Vanes require a 4 fletch configuration if using a broadhead, and for larger broadheads, you'd be better off with blazers.
Fixed B-H's NEED something Close to or, longer than,,.. 3 inches long, to Spin them,.. Properly. Three Heats, WON'T get it Done "usually" with, Fixed Heads. The 2.7" AAE Max Stealth's are just "enough" and very Popular for, a Reason
What do you look for when you are changing vanes
4:17 "must be niiice"
Dude please tell me where I can buy those giant disc targets!!!
Now that my friend is a nice playhouse!
Try feathers and feather burner. You can make any fletching shape, any length any height. I am very pleased with the result. When I copied the dimensions of plastic vane into feather the arrow flight was better in my opinion. However this is only my opinion and I believe, that there will be a lot of disagreement :-).
What fletching jig is that?
I’ve had shoulder issues for a good while now. I recently bought a tru ball handheld release and I have no pain at all. Why doesn’t it hurt as much?
On a handheld release u use ur fingers more to pull the bow back, but with a index u use ur whole arm
Depends on bow , speed, and length i have to do this fo my bear bow
Awesome videos! By far one of my favorite bowhunting channels. Keep up the great work. I have a question, I’m shooting a 4 pin sight and I can’t seem to make the pin and target clear at the same time and it’s hard to see my 30 yard pin when shooting. Any advice?
You need either a clarifier or a verifier, look them up, clarifier clears up target,and verifier clears up pins
Yes the Mosquito's suck here in Michigan!!!!
Best group although low because of drag. But I’d like to see u shoot the 100 with those 3”
Hey buddy. What the weight up front? You should go with a little more foc and let the vanes do the rest.
Nice place you got there...... 👍
