X-Vanes

Anyone know where you can get Bohning X-Vanes from in the UK? I cant seem to find anywhere that sells them.

Cheers.

Jim, XWings and X-Vanes are different beasts...
But I do love my XWings

X-Vanes are made by Bohning, X-Wings were the main assault craft of the Rebel Alliance in the raid upon the Death Star.

Do They attach in the same way as spin wings (double sided tape) or are they glue on?

How much did they cost? Can You PM me Dejan's details or does he have a web site, I did not want to register with AT just to PM him.

Update on the X-Vanes hunt, Centreshot now stock them and other Bohning vanes. Bought some 4" Killer vanes for my X7's for indoors, excellent results so far.

Aardvark also has them in stock, in many sizes :yummy: :yummy: :yummy:

May be worth a go just too see how they go....

X vanes are extremely tough vanes. I shoot the smallest ones on all of my arrows - the 1.5" shield cut, weight 2 grains.

As an example of their toughness, I regularly bury my arrows up to the vanes in the target and I can grip the arrow over the top of the vanes using one of those rubber arrow grippers and on withdrawing the arrow, there is absolutely no crushing of the vanes at all. In fact you can't tell you have touched them.

I don't know of too many vanes you can do this with.

They are very popular here in Australia and the small ones I use are becoming very popular amongst the better shooters. I believe most of us find spin wings and curly vanes a bit of a pain and not really worth the trouble, so try X vanes. You'll like them.:cheerful:
