    Okay, so Tiffany I the hotest bowhunter I have seen in a while but that's not the topic. Has anyone used the crsh arrows, are they good and accurate. I also heard that the shrink type quick fjetching robs accuracy............say it ain't so.

    Your opening statement is likely why nobody has responded. That act is played out.

    That being said, I have not shot the crush arrows but have shot several other offerings from CX. I could never justify the cost when I can make a "lesser" arrow shoot just as good, if not better. Haven't extensively used the shrink wraps but did install them on ky wife's arrows. Look and fly great.

    Its a good product. Only negative I see is the extra weight it adds to the back end of the arrow. That said its no heavier then a regular wrap and fetching. Going with just standard blazer vanes without a wrap you could save about 12 grains and add it up front where it does you more good. All that nick picking aside the quick fleck products are a super tool for people who don't need to fletch a lot of arrows every year. The added cost is minimal compared to the savings of time and effort.

    Liked the quickfletch products before I invested into a fletching jig, had better accuracy with the quikspin than the twisted vains.

    I wish I could find the quikspins but no where around here has em just the twisters. An do the quikspins say "speed hunter" or something of the sort?

    The only ones available around me are the Crush ones, not my flavor so I've ordered mine either from here or on Amazon...

    I have been using the quick fletchings for about a month and my groups have been nice and tight. the fletchings on my twisters seem much more durable then standard fletching, which is nice. Weight wise, i havent noticed a real difference in my flight (back end draging) so the weight added is very minimal.

    what is the biggest difference between the twisters and the quickspins? I havent looked into them much since the twisters are still fairly new to me.

    Great arrows for the $$$. Especially if your only huntin from a stand and takin shots 30 yrs and under, no point spending money on arrows that cost 2 times as much, as for the quickflecht, its worked fine for me, the bohning and NAP worked well.

    I shoot the CX Piledrivers, a little heavier arrow. I kept busting fletchings with them, so after I had about 5 arrows out of a dozen that needed refletched I decided to try the NAP quikspins, they fly exactly like the rest of the arrows with regular fletching. In the future I will buy unfletched arrows and go with the quik fletch. Just so I wont have to clean the arrows after I bust a fletching. I have also shot two deer with them and one arrow spined the deer and the quik fletch wasn't affected at all.
