Learn how to properly apply TAC Vanes, an all-new vane company that entered the market earlier this year, partly developed by world-class archer Levi Morgan.
I think they reccomend applying the glue right after the primer within 5 seconds or something for best adhesion.
I just ordered some TAC vanes and the Bits jig. Can’t wait to try since this video is perfect for me.
Me too. How did your's go? any advice ?
@@kee7678 wow forgot about this video. It turned out great and is a lot easier than I thought. Hint: 1. don’t over glue. Use 3 dots middle and ends and use glue tip to spread across the vane. 2. Practice on a few times trying to copy the vane placement from an arrow you current have. If you don’t pay attention ( how you put it on and we’re it’s placed in the clip)you may end up with vanes that don’t line up at all or just one will be place a little further up the shaft. Other than those it’s a little trial and error. But you’ll master it in a few times, I promise.
@@moonbot7613 ok so...3 dots middle, plus 1 dot each end for total of 5 right? oK good info on the arrow placement . I went with the 2.75s and also with wraps. Are you using wraps? What degree did you go? I"m thinking 3. I think dudley uses 2.5 on his own which are similar design. But he's shooting 90 yds LOL. I"m shooting 40. I hear great things too about the Bullys.
@@kee7678 nope sorry, 3 little dots one top, middle and bottom. I use the 2 inch drivers on Easton 6.5 and gold tip 340 with no wraps but I might start using them cause they look cooler lol. I shoot Hoyt powermax ( 3d ) and invicta ( indoor).
well, I got in a pack of the 2.75 Drivers, the Tac pen and glue .. Ive been fletching arrows for over 20 yrs and these damn things SUCK to fletch .. PERIOD !! .. one out of 3 vanes, the rear refuses to stay down, or the vane does not fully adhere ... I rough up my GT Velocitys with brown scotch brite, wipe with denatured alcohol as I always do ... I used a Grayling jig/right helical (similar to a Bitz) ... apply the pen and glue as demonstrated by Lancaster or the Levi vid.... NOPE !! .. tried applying a little pressure, NOPE !! .. I even tried backing off the degree of helical.. NOPE !! ... these things would be better with a wider base like a Blazer or GT Fusion 2.75 which I just ordered ... I'm done with these damn things, until they widen the base, if they widen the base ...... my advice to those wanting the Tacs ... get another brand !! ... what a waste of over $40... at least with Blazers and the GT 2.75 Fusion's, I'll be able to use my AZ Mini Max which puts on a great Helical ..... smh ...
I agree. I’m going back to my trusty Vanetec fletching. They will stick.
I've had the same experience and same jig. My q2i and aae max stealth vanes have no problem but these are in the trash.
I’ve had this same experience! Using pressure and all. Went through 100 of these thinking it was the way I’m fletching on my bitz…
Black Eagle Spartan 300’s
PJ Reilly... I just got VMP. Had a question for the 3 clicking turning knob. There are adjustments in there too. I am Compound bow, 2 degree left. I am using TAC Vanes too. What setting should I be in on the knob? Great Video of course... I'll try calling you at L.Archery... Thanks
On arrows without wraps I been wire brushing the shaft and cleaning with acetone. Seems to help.
Would an Arizona EZ Fletch Mini Max jig work okay with these vanes?
Good job PJ
any tips for using a AZ Mini Max jig >> .....I like the helical it puts on vanes and have always used one for my Blazers and Heat vanes .....well, I got 'em in, and with an EZ Fletch, the vane w/ the Shield cut will drift to far to the rear when the vane is in the slot, so they wont work .. that dosnt happen with a Blazer style which has a normal rear of the vane to stop it from sliding to far back .. I'll use my right helical Grayling jig for the Tac's ..
Great video
I just wasted like 8 vanes tonight haha I need a get the primer pen to see if that’ll help.
It won’t help. These vanes are trash.
hi PJ, glad to see you video, i want ask you about type of fletching jig you used...what the name of both to fletching jig...thanks
The first jig shown is the Last Chance Archery Vane Master Pro... www.lancasterarchery.com/last-chance-vane-master-pro-fletching-jig.html And the second one is the Bitzenburger..... www.lancasterarchery.com/catalog/product/view/id/6513/s/bitzenburger-fletching-jig/
They tell you in the first 20 seconds of video
Great video as always PJ , BUT....I noticed you didn't fletch one arrow that didn't have a wrap on it. I've had trouble getting several types of vanes that wouldn't hardly stick to my bare arrows 🤔🤔🤔
Jerry...for this video we used arrows with wraps. In reality, the only difference between wraps and no wraps is wiping the bare shafts with denatured alcohol. On my own social pages (Facebook and Insta) I recently posted where I fletched with TAC vanes on 6 Black Eagle PS23s, putting the vanes directly on the shafts without wraps. I had no issues with adhesion there either. All I did was clean the shafts with denatured alcohol and then followed the same steps shown in this video. Vanes stuck like iron.....
Thanks PJ for getting back to me about the fletching of arrows with no wraps.
Aren't the Tac vanes a Levi M product ?
@@jerryweatherman7468 Yes....these are vane designs he came up with.
I thought I heard they was designed by him. I'm curious though....why in all his hunting videos....he's using a much different looking came on his arrows 🤔
@@jerryweatherman7468 So these vanes are brand new. If you look at his hunting videos from just this past season, you will see him shooting the TAC Vanes. In this video here from last season, where he hunts dall sheep, if you stop the video when his vanes are visible, you will see they are the 2.75 TAC Drivers. th-cam.com/video/2rWcTEDPO7c/w-d-xo.html
How do you know what if any helical to use?
You have to test to see what works best for you
What size vane did you use?
These vanes are the 2.75 Drivers
Do you need a wrap to use these vanes?
No wraps needed. These are a friend's hunting arrows, and he likes the bright yellow wraps for hunting. I fletched some PS23s without wraps using TAC Vanes and the only thing I did different was wiping the shafts with denatured alcohol. No adhesion problems....
@@pjreilly3997 Do I have to use the TAC adhesion products with these vanes?
Matthew Szwagulinski I think any should work.....but you need a primer pen for sure
@@pjreilly3997 wow thank you for such a quick reply. What purpose does the pen have?
Matthew Szwagulinski The pen cleans the vane base to prep it for adhesion
What wrap?
The yellow section of the arrow is a wrap.
Ok folks. You don't NEED the expensive cleaner or adhesive. Try using 91% or better alcohol and wipe the vane base and the arrow shaft well. I use Gorilla brand "instant" adhesive. I very very seldom have a vane come off. I've done this on many different brands of vanes and it just works.
Do you need the primer
@@johnarmentrout5663 I haven’t used primer before. Just clean wipe vane base good. I’ve found at least 91% alcohol works great. The regular 70% doesn’t clean as well.
Great video, but those vanes and glue/primer are junk! Saw your video before buying that combo at my local shop and followed the TAC and the your instructions on my Jo Jan jig fletched a dozen arrows 6 TAC and 6 another brand both with the same glue/primer all the TAC’s came off or the glue never would set, but the others worked fine just like normal! Junk Junk Junk
I have fetched arrows all my life and I have never seen such trash as the Tac vanes. Nothing I do makes them stick. I would really like to shoot these vanes but hell I’m going back to Vanetec. They will stick.
These are the worst vanes ever made
Good luck getting a 2.25" tac to stay on with this jig, awesome product but does not put enough pressure on the vane to fully seat
