I am a big fan of Blazer vanes. They do a great job of steering your arrow, whether you use a small expandable or a big fixed blade. As for a good hunting arrow, you cant go wrong with the Carbon Express Maximas. I also really like the Carbon Express Mayhems (I will be hunting with these this fall). Whether you want the 250 or 350 spine depends on your draw weight and arrow length. Let me know if you have any other questions and good luck to you.
