Getting new vanes for my Diablos

Post by excalxbowner »

I know the Diablo bolts come fletched with Vanetec vanes. Anybody know where to get them? Messed mine up pulling a couple bolts through a target.

I would suggest changing to Blazer vanes . They control broadheads much better , Especially with a lot of helical in them .

Enough clearance might be a problem with the Blazers. They're about an 1/8" higher than the Vanetecs.

buy yourself an EZ Fletch Bolt and put you some Blazers on the Diablos. Anybody can do it.

That's what I just did. Added reflective wraps and I'm good to go.

The Arizona EZ Fletch Mini Bolt Fletching Jig and 2" Blazer vanes are a perfect combo.. When you are done with the jig and if you have glue residue on your jig arms, just wipe it down with acetone on a cloth, or you can fill a grass jar with acetone and just put the jig in the jar for 30 minutes then since it off with soapy water.

Get Blazers, EZ fletch Bolt, Loctite Super glue Ultra Gel, fletch-em-up and shoot. Blazers can be had almost anywhere.

Agreed! ...make sure you get the Arizona Rim E-Z Fletch Bolt. The mini is for setting up compound arrows < 2".

Don't have an EZ fletch yet,so i had my local archery shop put some new blazers on my Diablos. They could only glue the Blazers on with a slight off-set. Wasn't able to get them put on with 3-4 degrees of helical like they come with. Knowing this,can i expect as good or better bolt flight than what i had before? thanks guys
