This was the video that turned me on to the G5 Blue Glue.

SK300 Best vane that I have tried. Accurate to 50 yds. However, I would consider trying yours...

I have a limited number to give to anyone that wants to test.
I'm going to suggest that they stick within a dozen. So if you cannot fletch a 3" then I'll send you enough to fletch 6 arrows with Blazers and 6 arrows with Silent Knight SK 200s.
If you can fletch 3" then I'll send you enough to fletch 4 with Blazers, 4 with Silent Knight SK 200s and 4 with Silent Knight SK 300s.
When you are done, I will send you enough to refletch your arrows to have a matching dozen. That assumes that I have enough Silent Knights left over. I do have lots of Blazers.
Any takers for this test?

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Cool thanks Don. Feels like Christmas in April... :)

Zing! primer for the Silent Knight vanes can be had for $3.99 and a nominal shipping fee at Jake's archery, online sales only though. I had never done business with them and thought I'd call and verify the price and product code. Check out the website, it's way cheaper there than I saw anywhere else. They will ship to Canada.

I'd gladly help you out but can't really get much past 40yds...could do 50 max I think. If you think that's useful....I could compare SK200's, Trueflight Feathers, and Blazers. And Slick Tricks, Magnus Stinger 2 blade and Ramcats.

I got some Bohning Bolt Crossbow Vanes to have tested. They are a low profile 3.5" sheild cut. Bohing's description reads "Made of a new stiffer vane material - Withstands higher velocity - Stabilizes bolts up to 100 yards - Prevents vane flap for a smoother rotation - 3.5", .5" high, 11.5 grains.
Anyone want to try some for their long distance testing?
