      Thought about it but did not know how much difference it would make. Can u tell a difference in arrow flight?

        i was shooting nockturnals with 3in feathers then tried some quickfletchs on some arrows and they shoot low, but dead on with normal nocks.

          You 3" feathers weigh about 1.5gr each.A 2" plastic vane will weigh about 6gr each plus the sleeve they are on.I would think your looking at 20 to 25 gr more with the quick fletch.

            and since its a heavier arrow you just can move the whole housing up you have to change the gaps in the pins also right?

              NAP Quikfletch weighs 32 grains total. A Blazer vane (being about the lightest) weighs 5 grains each so 3 grains is 15 plus weight of glue is going to be approx 10 for a total of 25 grains.

                but what about a 3in feather with glue?

                    Personally, I haven't weighed any feathers but I do know the are lighter than a vane. Probably can look on their website and it will tell you. Sorry that I am not much help.

                        Is your bow maxed out on draw weight?

                          Just wanted to let you know Bohning makes one called Instafletch made with Blazer vanes that is about $20 a dozen cheaper than Quickfletch.
