I have been bowhunting 30 + years and have lots of experience though I am certainly not the authority on much. I shoot 5 inch vanes through a Whisker B and was wondering about using the new Mini Vanes with fixed broadheads. The only reason I would consider them is for the ease of installing them. I have target shot with them and get good results but how well do they stabilize fixed heads? Any words of wisdom?
I have been shooting 2" blazer vanes with Muzzy Fixed 3 Blades. They shoot dead on target, IMO I believe they stabilize in the air faster than traditional vanes. Good luck and Happy Shooting!
I do not think they will be as forgiving as the vanes you use now or larger vanes/feathers in general. You may not need much forgiveness on the shot when target shooting but, IMO, when hunting you need much more forgiveness out of your setup.
I have done extensive testing shooting different arrows/vanes through my bow and have tried any and all vanes I could get my hands on and I ALWAYS come back to using 4 inch vanes. They always group better for me. I really want to like the blazers or fusion vanes if for nothing else they look cooler and add a little speed, as much as 10fps in one test by the way, and yet when I hit the woods the 4inch vanes are on my arrows. I have a bunch of Fusion vanes in 3 inch and 2 inch i'll send some to you if you want to do some testing of your own.

I've been having great results with the 2" Blazer vane but my rigs are what most people refer to as "super tuned". They'll throw a bare shaft square on target at 40 yards so they don't need much stabilization other than to correct for the broadhead. A full helical 2" Blazer provides that for me with the G5 Stryker and/or Montec 125 grain head.
Not sure... I haven't measured them. They are the NAP heat shrink kind you can buy at Academy or Bass Pro. I got them to reconstitute some old arrows for practice and they seem to fly great with field tips but I do notice a difference with Broadheads as several have said.
I guess I should have provided more setup info. Hoyt Protech 3000 30 Inch draw maxes out at around 68 lb though it is supposed to be 70. Old style Wb with a Drop tine Beman MFX 340 Arrows Griz Tricks (Just switched over and love em) Dead on w/field tips or BHs at 40 (using the larger vanes) I don't have a chrono but I am estimating 260-270 fps probably a little off but close.
