There is nothing wrong with vanes if that is what floats your boat. Most of us spend a lot of time building our wood bows and wood arrows, avoiding most man made materials while we are doing it. You can use whatever you want and it wont bother me, but I for one am not going to ruin a pretty wood bow and arrow set by putting plastic vanes on my arrows. And I sure as heck not going to use carbons.  ;)

Pat B:
...and not only what Justin said but vanes don't seem to fly well off of a stick bow(primitive or trad). If you use an elevated rest, they work better.

 I have to agree with Pat, that break looks like it started from a crack from previouse damage. The one that broke and cost me $7 grand hit a fence and came apart with a straight break like that. On top of the emergency room visit, there was 4 nights in the hospital and surgery. If I think one might have a hairline break, I go ahead and break it.

Just to let yuo all know, I've been shooting POC almost exclusivly for 15 years and never had an issue with older shafts breaking. I oil them regularly and weed em out if they look too worn.
