    I got out my Nitrum Turbo today & shot it a little bit. Switched from the Maximum Red's to Easton Nemesis weighing in at 476gr. I mainly target shoot with this bow & I'm sure I'll take a deer with it. I was thinking about re-fletching these arrows with a 3" low profile vane. I'm running Aae pro max on Red's for my Pse & really like them. Some guy said that a low profile vane would be good on a heavy arrow like the one I'm shooting. But with the Aae max pro's my Pse groups better than with the standard blazer vane. So I was thinking a 3" x 1.5" vane with 3* helical. What's yalls thoughts. During target practice I will be shooting any where from 20-100+ yards with these.

    If you are mainly target shooting why did you switch to the heavier Nemesis? Sorry to derail the thread.

    With Red's I was shooting 325fps. If I turned the bow down my accuracy suffered. With Nemesis I'm now shooting 293fps.

    I tried quite a few vanes a while back. I found Flex-Fletch to be the best. If you want 3" look at SK-300. I use them and FFP-360 and both work great. With that said nothing steers BH better than 4" Truflight feathers for me.

    There are a ton of great vanes out there. It's still tough to beat the trusty old bohning blazer vanes though. It seems they are still the standard out there.
