    Do any of you guys use quick spin fletchings? Im getting new arrows soon and trying to figure out what is going to give me the best accuracy. Any advice is helpful.

    I also shoot with a whisker biscuit, but I am open to getting a drop away for the new arrows.

    I used them before and it did seem to increase my accuracy but some of the vanes does seem to come somewhat easily. So I would wait until you get a drop away before you use them.

    It's all I use now. I have shot them through a WB but can't recall if I had any issues. They do have a little winglet on the back that may cause a problem.

    I use the twister version and have no complaints. Easy flying and they do help with my accuracy.

    I personally think it's just a gimmick to charge a couple more dollars. I use the Quickfletch wraps/vanes. I currently have some of the Archers Choice Quickspins and some of the Easton ones with the Blazer vanes. I haven't shot further than 60 yards, but up to that distance I see no difference in accuracy. They shoot great, just not any better than the Blazers which are a little less expensive.

    They're plenty accurate as you can see in this Robin Hood. I will continue to shoot them because I like the look of the Archers Choice wraps/fletching. But, if money is an issue at all, you can get the same accuracy and save a couple dollars.

    Well i think i am going to save money by getting the Beman Hunters, but i haven't decided yet. Is it worth it to spend 100-140 on a dozen easton fmjs or another high quality arrow? Are they more accurate?

    I shoot Bemans. Great arrow for the money. Got mine from Jerry at south shore archery supply. Spine tested and indexed. Great prices for the quality he ships

    I got a guy that I like near my hometown. I just don't know if it's worth it for Easton FMJs

    Again, I think a lot of it is marketing. I agree that it's not necessary to buy top of the line arrows in order to be accurate. I mean look at Chuck Adams. Still harvesting trophy animals every year with aluminium arrows. I shoot the 340 FMJs because the heavier arrow flies better with my bow. Spending more money won't make you more accurate. You just need to find what works best with your bow.

    If you're looking to save some money on arrows, you might want to research a brand I know nothing about. Deer Crossing Ahead. I don't remember which forum it was under, but some guys were really talking them up. Apparently you can order them from a guy that does spine indexing of them. They were swearing by the accuracy of the arrow and the quality of the guys work. Sorry, I don't remember the forum. Might be worth searching and researching though.
