Not yet, but I was thinking about getting some and trying them out. I would be interest too if someone out there has used them. dino

I can't tell ya too much about them as I have been shooting them from a flipper on a bow cut well past center (metal riser). they are water proof as far as soak water up. the little cut well pick up water and fling it a bit whem ya shoot.
I found to be a little more critical for arrow tuning and would not stabilize an arrow like a 5&1/2" sheild cut but what vane will.
sorry I can't tell ya about shooting them off the shelf but for a flipper in the rain I'll take a regular vanes.
I really like the quikspin 4" vanes if the arrow is really tuned and shooting a 100 gr 3 blade snuffer or a woodsman. I think ya'd have to shoot them from a flipper and I don't knkow how well they will do in the rain. they have got soe micro grooves on one side that could well hold water by capillary actions.
back to the bi-delta, i don't think shooting off a fipper even breaks them in. sorry I wasn't more help

That is a help, Rusty, as I use a flipper II on my W.W. Mentor recurve.

I got some from 3Rivers. Made up one shaft. Shot it cock feather up and split the vane like directions indicated on the inside vane. I had perfect flight off the shelf with a field tip. Hunting season is still open and haven't tried a BH shaft yet, but it sure looks like it gonna work.

This is the first group I shot on a 300 round with the vanes. They were shot off the shelf of my BW PL longbow. Broadhead flight was great too. The BW shelf has a very small amount of contact with the arrow just above the throat. I've noticed other longbows like this including O.L. Adcocks.

Thank you for the feedback and information. I may give these a try in the coming months.
