Science
These Iron Will Hybrid Hunter Vanes were developed through extensive computational fluid dynamic modeling as well as empirical testing to provide the best arrow flight with broadheads.
Empirical testing included high speed video, lab radar, audio analysis, and wind tunneling.
Top Edge
Our testing showed that the higher top edge in the AAE Hunter profile significantly steered broadheads better than lower profile vanes. The further away the vane was from the arrow, the more significant the pressure became upon the edge, which led to more reliable rotation.
Additionally, we found the AAE Hybrid material to support excellent adhesion to arrows, especially in high-pressure areas like the front of the vane.
The result is an Iron Will exclusive Hybrid Hunter vane from AAE.
Within this model, parts of the vane receiving the highest pressure are in red, and the airflow with the highest velocity is shown in red.
I love these vanes. Quiet and consistent with excellent flight characteristics.
So far the vanes have been great. I haven’t had any issues with adhesion and the durability has been excellent. I’ve shot several arrows through worn out 3D targets and the vanes were fine.
Most important they do a great job steering my IW 100G SB broadheads. I don’t have a reason to use any other vanes.
Some of the best vanes I have used. At a 3 or 4 degree offset, they are amazing and they stick extremely well.
I used these exclusively during the 2023 season. Was successful on Elk and Whitetail. Had these on Black Eagle Carnivore 250 spine arrows....29" carbon to carbon. 3 degree right fletch. 200gn Iron Will Single Bevel. 525gn total wight on arrow. Cow elk was zipped through from tip of shoulder out the opposite ham. went 28yrds and tipped over. Whitetail took it through the lungs....70yd sprint down the hill and piled up. Will be running same setup this year.
