Alpha Vanes 2.8 inch by Bohning
The Bohning Alpha Vane 2.8" is engineered for archers who want a combination of speed, stealth, and rotational torque in a compact, low-profile design. Built from Bohning's AR1250 material, the Alpha is exceptionally stiff and lightweight, helping provide fast, quiet arrow flight while maintaining reliable steering performance. Its advanced Torque Apex initiates rotation quickly, while the gradual taper toward the tail balances spin and stealth.
Designed for hunting, 3D archery, indoor target shooting, and crossbows, the Alpha Vane features a contoured tail that minimizes vane flutter to reduce noise and help retain speed downrange. The low-profile 2.8" design also provides clearance for tight setups and is well suited for arrows equipped with mechanical or fixed-blade broadheads.
