Danish Shooter Offers Fletching Pointers
Article by: Erik P. Nielsen - National Team archer from Denmark, European Champion Mens Team FITA Indoor 2006, former World Record holder Mens Team Olympic Round
“Personally I prefer the X-Vane 1.5” for long range shooting, i.e FITA 90 meters and 70 meters target archery. I have the national record in Denmark by 354 points and was the first Dane ever to pass the mythical barrier of shooting 1400 points, thus receiving the purple FITA star, which only about 16 people world-wide have achieved.
My preference is the short version, 1.5”, as this cuts thru the gusty winds at long range shooting and fully applies to my other demands, and, due to a good vane base, it fletches easily. This vane has enough vane length to stabilize my arrow shaft and the X-Vane has less wind drag, as it is lower profiled than other traditional vane types. The Bohning X-Vane is rigid, slightly stiffer than ordinary vanes at the brim, therefore they don’t flutter, nor do they curl. They even withstand a tight arrow grouping upon impact.
