What are Alpha Vanes?

Published in Archery Vane 2 mins read

The Alpha® vane is a specialized archery vane developed by Bohning, designed with a new profile that synergistically combines stealth, speed, and torque for optimal arrow flight performance.

Core Design and Performance Attributes

Bohning's Alpha® vane stands out due to its innovative engineering, focusing on stability and aerodynamic efficiency. It integrates several key design elements to deliver a balanced flight trajectory and minimized air resistance.

Key Features and Benefits

The Alpha® vane's unique construction contributes to its high-performance characteristics:

  • New Profile for Bohning: Represents a fresh approach to vane design, specifically engineered to enhance arrow dynamics.
  • Combines Stealth + Speed + Torque: These three core attributes are integrated into the vane's design, aiming for a quieter, faster, and more stable arrow flight.
  • Advanced Torque Apex: This specific design element, in conjunction with the vane's gradual taper, plays a crucial role in achieving an optimal balance between arrow spin and stealth during flight.
  • Gradual Taper to the Tail: This thoughtful shaping of the vane ensures a smooth transition of air flow, further contributing to stable spin and reduced noise.
  • Contoured Tail: The precision-contoured rear section of the vane is designed to actively minimize vane flutter, a common issue that can negatively impact arrow accuracy and consistency.

Alpha® Vane Performance Overview

Feature Category Specific Design Element Performance Impact
Profile New Profile for Bohning Merges Stealth, Speed, and Torque into one design
Aerodynamics Advanced Torque Apex Optimizes balance of arrow spin and stealth
Stability Gradual Taper to the Tail Enhances consistent spin and quiet flight
Precision Contoured Tail Significantly minimizes vane flutter for better accuracy

By integrating these features, the Alpha® vane aims to provide archers with a more predictable and efficient arrow flight, reducing drag and improving consistency shot after shot.
