Before getting too excited: almost 100% of arrows which have won outdoor target tournaments in both the Olympics and WA championships over the last 20 years have been using spin vanes. Is not like you can't win using long rigid vanes, but most of time they have been using at 20 yard/18 m at indoor tournaments. Long vanes doesn't seems to be the best match for long range outdoor competitive shooting, and light shafts cold be a problem vs large game (ask Bee about the UV's performance vs water buffalo). So: I think that those shafts are better for target outdor without those vanes.
Compound target shooters usually use small plastic vanes as opposed to spinwings for outdoor target. But they also use the ProTour shafts that are about $450.00 a dozen for just bare shafts. They are front tapered. These should be very nice for hunting set up but pretty high end.
Wouldn't it make sense to have a left helical since according to most archery experts, the most common helical fletching direction especially for Mathews bows, and in general for most archers, is left helical; meaning the arrow will naturally spin to the left when released from the bow. Why would you want to fight the direction of the natural rotation of the arrow?
The thing to remember is.....Easton and Hoyt are two parts of the same company, and Hoyt is one of the brands that typically shoots arrows that spin to the right, making right offset the matching fletching configuration for those bows.
I’ll stay with my Sirius Gemini’s and RIP TKO’s with my Silent Knight and TAC vanes that are spot on at 60 yards and 16% foc; 465 grains with my 31.5” draw… left helical!! Hybrid vanes to heavy!!
And here I am with my Rose City cedar shafts with my 6-fletched Bjorn dragonflight nano vanes that are spot on at 600 yards and 39% FOC; 754 grains with my 37" draw... south helical!! To each their own, I guess.
All arrows bend to one degree or another - it is simply a result of the physics associated with archery. The pressure on the back of the arrow, the weight and design of the bow, the arrow's momentum, the weight and speed of the arrow, etc, all have an effect on how an arrow performs upon release and in flight. That is why proper spine on an arrow is so important - to ensure you have the ideal flex for your system. The archer's paradox is a wonderfully interesting little rabbit hole to dive into, as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer%27s_paradox

X10's for hunting? Crazy.
X10s, for half the price of normal X10s, for hunting*
@@LancasterArcherySupply Not real X10's though.
Right, that's where the price drop and "Parallel Pro" name comes in.
$380+ a dozen is cheap?🤔
Not cheap….less expensive than x10s

Why shoot an arrow that bends
All arrows flex. 😂

@@boundlessobsession6266 go watch slow motion arrow flight. They bend a lot.
