KifaruCast | Ep.537 | Bill Vanderheyden - Iron Will Outfitters

Aron welcomes Bill Vanderheyden from Iron Will Outfitters to the KifaruCast Studio. Bill has been working on some very interesting studies regarding arrows, broached and vane dynamics and pretty much anything that has to do with the science of arrow flight. Working in conjunction with the University of Colorado, Bill has some very interesting findings when it comes to vane profiles and the art of arrow flight. So much so that he may be devoloping his own vane profile. Greta having Bill in the studio to geek out on arrows with Aron.

This is the second interview (DIY Sportsman being the other) I have watched with Iron Will Bill regarding the fletching study. I went from a micro-diameter shaft (Victory VAP Elite .166) to an Easton 2317 XX75 Gamegetter for hunting. Do all arrow diameters react the same to fletching configurations or does arrow diameter have some effect? With a 23/64 diameter arrow, I have to use some caution when utilizing taller fletching configurations due to limited fletching clearance. Thanks for the doing the interview.

Thanks guys

Iron will mechanical head would be the best head ever. I will pre ordered a 6 pack plus if Bill needs field testing on it I will volunteer my services.

Aron how do those new vanes look??

[@tannervanasten]

when you just fletched up 2doz and hear bill hint at releasing a new vane >.

[@SL-he2wt]

Does the higher profile for stability also apply to 4 fletch. Was testing done for 3 and 4 fletch?

[@cowboyjoe3734]

I think bill mostly recommends three vanes at that profile. 4 vanes add more weight but you could get away with shorter vanes

Good info
