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 |
