Bolt™ Vanes
The Bolt™ Vane is designed specifically for crossbow bolts and will stabilize them for up to 100 yards. It’s made of a ultra-stiff material that prevents vane flutter for a smooth bolt rotation and a quiet flight. The Bolt Vane’s ultra-stiff material is durable enough to withstand the high velocities of modern crossbows. The Bolt Vane measures 3.5″ (88.9mm) in length, 0.5″ (12.7mm) in height, and weighs an average of 11.6 grains (751.7 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the Bolt Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.
Due to the ultra-stiff material, we recommend using an instant glue and/or a fletching jig with high adhesion force such as Bohning’s Tower Jig or Multi-Fletcher.

Blazer® Vanes
The Blazer® Vane is designed for steering fixed-blade broadheads and has been the #1 hunting vane for over 10 years! It measures 2″ (50.8mm) in length, 0.57″ (14.5mm) in height, and weighs an average of 6.0 grains (388.8 mg). True Color printed Blazers weigh an average of 6.3 grains (408.2 mg). Like all Bohning vanes, the base of the Blazer Vane is pre-primed for optimal adhesion.
The Blazer® Vane has dropped more jaws, hung more trophies, convinced more skeptics, and provided more big silly grins than all the “knock-off”, “wanna-be”, “copy-cat” vanes combined! This is the vane that, hands down, out-performs them all! It’s designed for fixed-blade broadheads but is also perfect for crossbows and 3D archery. The Blazer® Vane, with its unique design, begins steering and correcting immediately – making believers out of bow hunters and target shooters alike! The combination of the steep leading edge angle and its material properties enables air to flow over the vane in a manner that actually creates lift. This leaves the tip of each vane inside undisturbed air, similar to the drafting principle used in auto racing. This airflow also makes the tip of each vane to act like a rudder, which is noticeable at longer distances with the flatter trajectory Blazer® Vanes provide. We recommend fletching Blazer® vanes with a helical for perfect results.
What’s in your quiver? If it doesn’t say Blazer® and carry the Bohning® logo, it’s not a REAL BLAZER. Only Bohning makes the Blazer Vane, and we proudly print our name on each one. It’s not just the profile that sets us apart from look-a-likes, our proprietary material has been tested in extreme conditions to make sure it doesn’t fail you when it really counts. Don’t be fooled by copycats. If it doesn’t say Bohning, it’s not a Blazer and it won’t perform like one.

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, and it is NASP approved. 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.
