Abstract: An arrow vane having a contour that reduces drag and noise. The arrow vane includes two main components, a vane fin and a vane bas. A straight bottom or base edge of the vane fin is fixedly attached to the vane base, which is configured for attachment to the shaft of an arrow. The edge profile of the vane fin extending above the base 150 is defined by leading edge having a steep forward section and a sloping rearward section, a trailing edge and a rounded transition edge connecting the leading and trailing edges.
