These aren't half bad to be honest. I wouldn't say they're perfect and perfectly line up the fletching but it's pretty close for what I'm doing. I didn't use boiling water, I used a heat gun just fine. Just go slow and heat evenly.

Definitely makes your groups tighter

Simple application. Be careful to dip slowly and not to bump the fletching. I did have to remove and reapply one bolt.

I put these on and yes I am shooting better! I love the stiff vanes. As far as slipping down the shaft I have not had that problem as others stated in the reviews.. But just to be safe i put a drop of super through the space on the nock side just before I dip it in the hot water. I expect that to hold them in place.

These fletching are easy to install. I followed the directions exactly. On the very first shot my white vein that faces down ripped off and bolt hit the ground completely missing the target. I had 3 others fletched up and they shot pretty accurate until maybe the 15th shot and as you can see in the pic above the whole wrap slid down my arrow. It slid down on the impact of my bag yellow jacket target using field tips. And also half of them were terribly crimped right out of the packet, as you can see in picture. I put these in boiling water for exactly 10 seconds using a stop watch. I don’t recommend using this product. I don’t see anything I could have done differently to get a better result. 👎🏼

I purchased the QuickFletch 3" Hellfire vanes for my crossbow in mid September. I found that the new vanes lack accuracy and durability. After extensive target shooting, I am comfortable hunting with just 3 of the 6 that came in the package. The QuickFletch sleeve is splitting on several of the bolts and the entire sleeve is sliding down the bolt shaft on others. I would not purchase these again.

Vanes do not line up on 2 in the pack of 6 and 2 others have massive blobs of glue all over the place, in summary 2 of the wraps actually function consistently and are actually very accurate. So you may have to sift through to find the good ones and always put them in the bag before you take them in the field.

Used them to repair crossbow bolts and couldn’t be happier. Easy to apply and more sturdy than the original fletchings on the bolts. Crossbow is 130 lbs, 300 FPS.

I use TenPoint Crossbow Pro Elite Carbon Arrows with Omni-Nocks. Although any vane can be placed downward in the barrel, the nock still requires careful indexing or the string rotates the arrow slightly to get in the slot--and sends the arrows sailing offline. I found this out using my Bohning Helix Tower Jig for crossbows. This was time consuming, messy with the glue, and no matter how carefully I aligned the omni-nock triangle (visible on the back of the nock) with one of the vanes, about 1/3 of my arrows didn't fly well. They spiraled off target by 8 to 12 inches, but the ones that aligned OK had tight groups out to 40+ yards. The ones that were indexed well flew better than the original vanes--much better groups with these properly indexed helix vanes..With these Hellfire Crossbow Fletchings I can get small groups again--they do seem to stabilize the flight well. But, the upside is that I am able to correctly index the nocks so that the omni-nocks catch the string in one of the 3 groves! Every one I've done flies well. Upside two: I boil a pot of water and put it into a 9" stainless steel drink cup, and then proceed to fletch 6 arrows in about 10 minutes. No mess. No glue. Good indexing. Good groups. No brainer..I can't speak to the claim that the raised edge begins to spin sooner and that these NAP fletchings are better/worse than others, but they do spin enough to make much tighter groups than the slight-right (I think they are 1 degree right) tenpoint factory vanes. They are as accurate as the helix (5 degree right) vanes--which means that they should work great stabilizing broadheads..I can't speak to longevity, but so far they seem to take target practice (field points) well--no damage from target hits/removal. . .
