Norway Industries – Zeon Fusion Vanes

I have been very excited to try out the Norway Industries Vanes in the Zeon Fusion in Pink.  Pink you say! Well with pink I can see the arrow maybe in the tall grass on a successful hit or miss.  The idea was to be able to see the arrow in flight in the low light that is offered in the Pacific Northwest hunting for elk and deer in the heavy timber.  The thing with the Zeon Fusion Vanes in 4 different colors they have the ability to glow or absorb light.   I just had a dozen arrow fetched up with the Zeon Fusion Pink Vanes and tried them at the range during a lunch break.  Purpose of that was to see how they would fly with the design of the vane.   I shot 6 arrows total, with the lack of time and knowing I was already suppose to be back at work already.  They were shot out of my Martin Onza 3 hunting bow at 72lbs, at probably about 343fps velocity at 3 spot targets. The result which I feel the spin is better on the Zeon Fusion than other vanes, is 3 10’s or X’s, 2 9’s and the last was an 8, but I did take out my arm with the string.  I had that one coming as I hurried the shot as I knew I had to get back to work quickly.  I was finally able to go out and shot the arrow with the Zeon Fusion Vanes in late evening.  Hoorah!  I could see the vans (arrow) in flight!

In Oregon we are restricted from using anything that might be attached to bow that has a battery, which would include an arrow with a lighted nock.  So along comes Norway Industries with Zeon Fusion Vanes, a company which is located in Myrtle Point, OR, yep a local N.W. manufacturer that has vanes that can be seen in low light.

They really look good on the black shafts! My mark in the woods! Zeon Fusion Vanes

I have been an old school about arrows, shooting aluminum forever, only once shooting Lamiglass graphite arrows and having 4″-5″ vans on all my shafts, now I am shooting carbon and have the Zeon Fusion at 2.1″.  That is a big change for someone that was hunting deer in the early 70’s with a recurve.  I am glad that I have gone this way, success will be greater in the future and can be great for you also!

I highly recommend the Norway Industries Vanes for all your archery shooting purposes, whether for hunting or target shooting.

“For literally thousands of years bowhunters have struggled with the dilemma of seeing their arrows in flight and consequently knowing if they found their mark. In recent years heavy lighted nocks have been the answer for some, but are not legal in all 50 states nor allowed for Pope and Young Club entries. In lieu of this Norway Industries set out to do what they do best; break the rules and develop products that change the game and force the industry to re-think what it knows of possibilities and products. The result is the new edge-glow ZEON Fusion Vane. See the difference ZEON Fusion Vanes can make in your hunting success this year.”
