Components Testing Plots: High Speed Vanes

Per-build drag, accuracy, and velocity for each vane configuration shot from the high-speed rig.

High Speed Vanes | Torque-Induced Broadhead Drift from Field Point

Torque-induced broadhead drift from field point is the lateral distance between the torqued Gold Tip Field Point group and the torqued Iron Will Wide fixed-blade group for each vane build. Both groups are shot with an induced lateral torque simulating shooter error. This is the 2026 restorative-lift measure; lower drift means the vane did a better job steering the fixed blade back to the field-point baseline.

High Speed Vanes | Mean Radius, Torqued Gold Tip Field Point

Per-build mean radius shot with a torqued Gold Tip Field Point (induced lateral torque simulating shooter error). Shows how well the vane corrects for the induced torque. Lower is better.

High Speed Vanes | Mean Radius, Torqued Iron Will Wide Fixed-Blade Broadhead

Per-build mean radius shot with a torqued Iron Will Wide fixed-blade broadhead (induced lateral torque simulating shooter error). Combines torque correction with the extra steering load of a fixed-blade head. Lower is better.

High Speed Vanes | Group Size, Torqued Gold Tip Field Point

Per-build group size (extreme spread) shot with a torqued Gold Tip Field Point (induced lateral torque simulating shooter error). Lower is better.

High Speed Vanes | Group Size, Torqued Iron Will Wide Fixed-Blade Broadhead

Per-build group size (extreme spread) shot with a torqued Iron Will Wide fixed-blade broadhead (induced lateral torque simulating shooter error). Lower is better.
