K&K Archery has designed an innovative new vane that is great for indoor archery competition.
The KSL JET6 SHARK is a tape on, 4" vane that has a slightly curved profile and the proprietary JET6 air channels for better arrow flight control.
The way these vanes are placed on the arrow shaft creates a smaller fletched diameter while still maintaining a vane surface area equal to a standard 4"vane.
You can find more information on the website of BA Legend Archery, Inc.
Get more clearance with large diameter arrows and still get great arrow flight.

I am currently using them out of my compound. I don't see any reason they would not work on an Olympic style recurve also.
I just wouldn't shoot them off the shelf of a bow.

Here is a picture of the actual vanes on a 23 size arrow.

I have had great luck with them on 23 size arrows and I have friends who have shot personal bests with them on 27 size arrows. Flight is impressive.

If this is a question ..... the answer is Yes. The Absolute 44 from OK Archery is a very stable , comfortable shooting bow for people with longer draw lengths. Awesome indoor bow.

Science behind JET6 vanes



The KSL JET6 vanes are all designed with 2 air channels at the base of the vanes to create an air flow that swirls around behind the arrow rather that fanning out from the arrow.
This helps the arrow stabilize faster. They also have a slight curve to the vane ( top to bottom ) to create a little more spin.

This picture should give you and idea of what the design is intended to do.

KSL Shark - Rate of Twist



I'm not sure how I would quantify that !?
Compared to other vanes, it will depend on the angle and helical the other vanes are applied with.
The one thing I would say is with the built in curve and angle on the Sharks, I think you get a little more early spin for faster correction.
I will say that I used to primarily shoot feathers indoors for the little extra correction on large arrows and I feel these give very similar correction to a feather.

Testing



What kind of testing would you consider useful ?
I haven't seen too many comparisons that are very scientific.
Unfortunately, I don't have a shooting machine to eliminate the human error in any test other than a speed test.
