Has anyone tried the NAP Quickspin vanes?

Has anyone tried the NAP Quickspin vanes? I wonder if they work well on crossbow bolts.
The link below describes them.
Thanks in advance to any responders!

But to each his own!

Scopes

Save your money. Use the Varizone......the advantages far outweigh the possible disadvantage of less light being transmitted.
I have a excalibur Varizone on both my Horton and Excalibur xbows. The original Horton scope I had was junk!

Also consider rubbing your feet with super dry non-persperant unscented deodorant right before you put your socks on.........sweaty feet will get colder faster than dry feet. It seems to help!

I need advice on shooting at a deer approaching from behind a treestand. When a deer approaches from behind my stand the xbow limbs can hit the tree causing me to be knocked off the stand or damaging the xbow. The angle of "missed opportunity" for my Excalibur is about 90 degrees and for m...
