How do you improve on a carbon arrow shaft that is already nearly perfect? You fletch it with AAE Trad Vanes, the traditional archer's favorite vanes! The result is a Traditional Only® arrow that will perform during rain, sleet, snow, and almost anything Mother Nature can throw at it.
Traditional Only® carbon arrows have long had a reputation for being tough, hard-hitting, and ready for any traditional bowhunting challenge. Now that we've paired them up with AAE Trad vanes, they're even more devastating and effective.
Traditional Only® Carbon Arrows are perfect for bowhunters, with proper grain weight for pass-through penetration and excellent arrow flight. The Traditional Only® offers no-glare PhotoFusion wood grain finish that gives quiet draws every time. Expect the best high-strength ICS® C2™ carbon. Straightness ± .003" with weight tolerance of ± 2.0 grains, and OD (outside diameter) of the popular 5/16". Excellent energy retention, and perfect combination of speed, durability, and price.
We've three-fletched our Traditional Only® carbon shafts with 4" parabolic profile AAE Trad Vanes. You can choose from two fire orange and one white vane, or two yellow and one white vane. Made from AAE's proprietary Plastifletch material, these vanes can be shot off the shelf and have the same flight characteristics as your favorite feather fletchings. Trad vanes feature a 1/2" high profile. Enjoy the performance and confidence of shooting in all weather conditions whether it's rain, snow, heat, or cold.
Nocks installed, inserts included. Sold by the 6-pack. Available in spines of 300, 340, 400, 500, and 600, with white and fire orange, or white and yellow trad vanes. Please specify.

Services Available Any service requested may delay shipment. Items with services applied are non-refundable.
Cut Shafts to Length: Have your carbon arrows cut to length. The length is measured from the valley of the nock to the end of the shaft. Minimum length is 27". Tolerance for cut length is ±1/16".
Install Point Inserts: Choose this option to have our experts install your Point Inserts in your shafts. We use epoxy style adhesives on all inserts and most points. Once they are installed, they are permanent. If you want us to use different inserts or adapters (i.e. brass point inserts), please put a comment on your order during checkout referencing what item numbers to use together.
Standard Fletch: Our experienced fletchers will 3-fletch your arrow shafting with 5" shield left wing turkey feathers. The cock feather will be traditional barred and the two hen feathers will be your choice of white, yellow, red, or fluorescent lime (same color for all arrows). Hen feather color can be requested and will be fletched on a CLEAR cap wrap. No substitutions. Allow 4-7 additional business days for your order to be processed.
