    Hey Guys I was checking out tutorials on youtube and I came across this product called the fob. I never heard of it, watched the video and wondered if any of you guys have tried it. I am pretty old school where I like my vanes but am curious with the claims of this new product that obviously hasn't taken off yet since I have just heard of it.

    Thanks in advance,
    Marauder :rock:

    Do a quick search of the forums and you will find several threads about them.

    I love my NAP Quickfletchs and will never go to Fobs. Never heard anything positive enough about them to make me even consider it.

    I was going to try some but i heard about the issue that alot of people have to adjust their anchor point because the fob's sit back just in front of the nock. I won't deal with that, something to think about.

    Don't care for them at all, if you group too close you'll break them, and I've always had issues with them hitting me in the face.

    I'm not even gonna try them. I was just wondering if they were the new hype or trend that people were riding. I'm fairly old school meaning Idk if I'll ever switch from vanes. Why switch something that isn't broken. :tu:

    I know it's a very superficial way to think but I think they look stupid so I won't try them. The performance isn't enough to out weigh the use of veins. There is something to be said for the mental aspect of archery and if I don't approve of the way something looks/feels/performs/smells it throws off my mental peace, I guess. I don't know...I'm weird I guess.

    I did a review on FOBs awhile back. I personally like them. However, for the price that they are now, they really aren't worth the money.
