Aero-Flight Test Data
I had made note of the fact that our test data on the Aero-Flight vanes is available by request. But now that I have gotten that information about tuning posted, I wanted to make our test data easier to access.
In its simplest boiled down form here it all is so far. Testing of course continues.
Arrow Velocity @ Bow
fps=Feet per Second
Aero-Flights = 170 fps avg.
Blazer = 170 fps avg.
Spin-Wings=172 fps avg.
Arrow Velocity @ 30 Yards
Aero-Flights = 164 fps avg.
Blazer = 162 fps avg
Spin-Wings=164 fps avg.

Rate of Rotation
Formulae
° /” = Degrees per Inch Travel
° / ‘= Degrees per Foot Travel
°/’ X fps = Degrees per Second
(°/’ X fps) / 360° = Revolutions per Second
[ (°/’ X fps) / 360°] X 60 = Revolution per Minute.
Rotation
rpm = Revolution per Minute

Rotation = 3389 rpm
Blazer
Blazers installed 2° offset angle fletch
Speed @ Bow 170 fps
Speed @ 30 yds 162 fps
Rotation = 100° in 3” @ 30 yds
Rotation = 2700 rpm
Spin Wing
Spin-Wings installed straight fletch
Speed @ Bow 172 fps
Speed @ 30 yds 166 fps

I’ve tried the Trad Vanes and they do shoot off the shelf well. Do these vanes shoot well off of the shelf? I’d like to give them a try if they do.

How do they shoot of the shelf?
