Abstract
Abstract An archery arrow is provided with a vane means including two flight vanes carried by a mounting vane. The mounting vane extends radially from the arrow shaft, and it is mounted with a slight helical spiral to cause rotation of the arrow during flight. The flight vanes are carried by the mounting vane along the edge of the mounting vane opposite the arrow shaft, and each of the flight vanes forms an angle of approximately 60* with the mounting vane. The flight vanes are mounted on the mounting vane so that the spacing between the flight vanes and the arrow shaft increases from the rearward end of the respective flight vane to the forward end of that flight vane.
