Alpha® Vane – 2.8″
The Alpha® vane is a new profile for Bohning that combines Stealth + Speed + Torque. The vane features an Advanced Torque Apex with a gradual taper to the tail which gives you optimal balance of spin and stealth. At the rear of the vane, you will see a contoured tail which minimizes vane flutter. Less vane flutter reduces noise and helps retain speed. The vane measures 2.8″ (71.1mm) in length, 0.45″ in height (11.4mm) for low clearance, and each vane weighs 8.5 grains. The Alpha vane excels as a 3D Vane, Hunting Vane, Indoor Target Vane and a Crossbow Vane.
The Alpha vane is made from Bohning’s AR1250 Material. It is a stiffer material that allows for fast, ultra-quiet flight over longer distances. Our stiffer material also provides maximum speeds when fletched at a 1 degree offset, while staying silent. Bohning AR1250 is also our lightest material.
All Bohning vanes are pre-primed and do not require vane cleaning or pen primers. We recommend Blazer Bond® or Fletch Fuse® adhesives for best adhesion for the Apha Vane. Do not use solvent-based glues.

Atlas® Vane
The Atlas® vane is the same profile as the Alpha vane but it is made in our AR1000 material. It combines Torque + Forgiveness + Durability. The vane features an Advanced Torque Apex with a gradual taper to the tail which gives you optimal balance of spin and stealth. The vane measures 2.8″ (71.1mm) in length, 0.45″ in height (11.4mm) for low clearance, and each vane weighs 9.0 grains. At the rear of the vane, you will see a contoured tail which minimizes vane flutter. Less vane flutter reduces noise and helps retain speed. The low profile allows clearance on even the tightest set-ups. This vane excels as a 3D Vane, Hunting Vane, Indoor Target Vane, and is within the specifications to use on NASP arrows.
Bohning’s AR1000 Material is Bohning’s original vane material that provides for excellent adhesion and durability, while being extremely forgiving for any potential contact.
All Bohning vanes are pre-primed and do not require vane cleaning or pen primers. For our most durable and flexible adhesion, Bohning suggests using Fletch-Tite Platinum® for our AR1000 material. If faster cure times are needed, we recommend BlazerBond® or Fletch Fuse®adhesives.

Zen® Vane
Zen® Vane is designed to solve clearance issues for indoor archers while providing maximum steerage for large diameter shafts. Introduced in 2018, the Zen Vane quickly became a favorite for indoor spot shooters who, simply by switching vanes, saw their groups shrink. It has also been a popular replacement for feathers. The Zen Vane measures 4″ (101.6mm) in length, 0.37″ (9.4mm) in height, and weighs an average of 12.5 grains (810 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the Zen Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.

Bronco® 4″ Vane
The 4″ Bronco® Vane (formerly called the Killer Vane) is great for indoor compound archery and traditional archers looking for a profile similar to feathers but with superior durability. It measures 4″ (101.6mm) in length and 0.5″ (12.7mm) in height, and weighs an average of 12.5 grains (810 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the 4″ Bronco Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.

Bronco® 3″ Vane
The 3″ Bronco® Vane (formerly called the 3″ Parabolic X Vane™) is an incredibly versatile vane. We recommend it for compound and recurve archers shooting indoor spots. The 3″ Bronco Vane performed exceedingly well on crossbow bolts during Bohning’s comprehensive field testing, and for traditional archers looking for a profile similar to feathers but with superior durability, the 3″ Bronco Vane is a great option! The 3″ (76.2mm) Bronco Vane measures 0.43″ (10.9mm) in height and weighs an average of 8.5 grains (388.8 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the 3″ Bronco Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.

3″ X Vane™
Our most popular crossbow vane, the shield cut 3″ X Vane™ is equally well-suited for compound bowhunting, 3D, and indoor spots. Its length and profile provide just the right amount of steerage for large diameter arrows. The 3″ (76.2mm) X Vane measures 0.5″ (12.7mm) in height and weighs an average of 10.0 grains (348 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the X Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.
