I’m not a bow guy, at least not yet, but I’m learning a thing or two about the science of shooting a bow and arrow. In my quest to learn I have come across something very interesting. I’ve known that an arrow needs something attached to it to give it stability in flight….feathers, called fletchings, or plastic, called vanes. Both fletchings and vanes are pretty much shaped the same and installed using special glue. Both have to be held in a device that holds them in place until the glue has time to dry. This takes time to accomplish and the better you are at doing it, the more the demand is for your services.

So, I went on line to find out the difference between fletchings and vanes, as I didn’t have a clue. I have shared with you my limited knowledge about the subject. ALSO, while I was on line, I found out about another product out there that is designed to take the place of both fletchings and vanes and yet it still does the same thing and that is to keep the arrow stable while it flight.

Take a look at this video:

If I were an archer, I think I would be checking into these little guys. It just seems to me they do the stabilizing, keep the arrow going where you want it to go, and they do not require any super knowledge or special equipment to use.

Just saying.
