Best Fletch for Micro Diameter Shafts (Sirius Orion)

I recently purchase some Sirius Orion Arrows, and had them fletched with AAE Max Vanes Right Helical. I do prefer a helical for steering a fixed blade broadhead, but I am not opposed to a straight or an offset.

I have run FF-418's on .204 diameter arrows with a right helical in the past. Awesome for steering a fixed blade broadhead. Flex Fletch make a great fletch.

I don't think a FF-418 would fit a .166 shaft unless you ran a straight. How long of a fletch can you run on a .166 arrow and still run a helical? What is everyone's preferred fletching for micro diameter shafts?

What I run may not be the best for you? Buy several packs of vanes and do some vane testing

Nock on is in example


I do this with my broadheads as that’s what I’m hunting with. But test them out so you can see for yourself.

I like x vanes 3.5” out to about 45 yard you don’t have that much broadhead so should be fine with the 3” shield version.

It really doesn't matter as long as you do not go with something too small. Your previous vanes will work just fine even if you are not able to get as much helical on them. Helical is highly over rated as long as your bow is tuned. A slight offset with any 3 inch, or 2 inch high profile vane will work just fine. If you really want to make up for the lack of helical you can just add a 4th fletch.
