These are the short 1.5" or 2.0" long high profile vanes that have been advertised alot in the last year. I have been checking these vanes out but haven't heard much about them from recurve shooters although compound shooters think they are great. I did see one guy shooting them off a recurve and they seemed to work fine for him with an elevated rest of course.
I like the concept in that a smaller but stiffer vane will work as well or better than a larger vane. Also, the high profile of the vanes allows them to work more effectively since they can apply more torque to the arrow and are more likely to pass though undisturbed air away from the arrow shaft.
The obvious downside for recurves is that since they are stiff and high profile, clearance issues are likely. But if you have a good tune it seems they shouldn't contact the riser/rest area anyway.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated?
