I've always been a fan of Marco vanes, but them being out of business, and me in the need for some 2.5" vanes prompted me to do something I've always been curious about.
Top - Marco 2.5" Bottom - Bi-Delta Shark Tooth 2.5" Surprisingly, the Shark Tooth is heavier, but only by 1 grain. I'm impressed.  |

I'm still in the (I'm not sure yet) phase of testing them, but they fly very VERY nice. I was shooting them from 50 yards, and they fly a bit better than the Marcos (it looks like), but it's hard to tell, because both arrows fly well. I haven't shot them with my broadheads (yet), but will soon, and THAT will be the "truth teller". I have High Expectations.  |

Built four more tonight for a total of five. I'll put them through the paces tomorrow (with broadheads), and we'll have a verdict.  Rick |

Well, I can tell no difference in stability of flight between the Sharktooths, and the Marcos.
The sharktooths stabilize my broadheads perfectly.
The only real difference I can see are two fold.
(1) Availability. Marco are no more.
(2) The Sharktooths adhere better to the shafts.

Looks like there should be more Wing area with the bi-delta, so makes perfect sense…
I know you’re careful about noise levels… any data on that yet?

I can't hear them. Once I'm done tweaking my broadhead tune, I may test them over a camera t see what, and how much sound they make. |
