I use four inch Duravanes on Carbon Express Terminators with 100 grain
Spitfire Mech. Also the vanes are put on right offset.

Actually quick spins should have no helical put on them. They were disigned to be put on straight.
Actually they were designed to be put on anywhere from straight to a hard right helical. Straight they still spin but the more offset you get with them they spin even faster.

My set up will be a Carbon Express CX400 with a white crest and 4 three inch feathers on a hard right helical. Tipped with either 100 or 125 grain slick tricks, which are a fixed 4 blade head with a 1-1/8th inch cutting diameter, and cut to 30 inches. Will also be trying out the magnocks for the first time this year (will see how they work).

Will be useing a BT alleginace and the 100 grain heads should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 fps and the 125 grain heads should be about 295 fps.

I spoke with the tech at NAP about how to properly fletch the Quik Spins, and they said not straight but a slight right offset if using a straight clamp and a slight right helical if using a right helical clamp. They said it's not the best to do a hard helical, but a 1-2 degree offset is just about right.

For 3D, I use 85 grain screw in points, and 4" Vane Tec's on a slight offset. For hunting, I am using 125 grain slick tricks, with 4" vane tecs on a full hard right helical.

Carbon express CX200s cut to 27"
EZE Crest wraps cut down to 1" wide
3 Bohning Blazer vanes attached with a right helical clamp and 2 degrees(guessing) offset
Easton UNI bushings with G-Nocks
I used NAP Scorpion XP 100's last year. I'm looking at the Buzzcuts, Wasp Sharpshooters or Slick Tricks to try out for this year.

My favorite is a three fletched arrow -feathers, 5 1/2 inch left wing helical shield cut. I use a 2018 arrow with a 145 grain flour blade muzzy.
