Arrow vanes, devices and methods for improving arrow vane airfoils for compound arrows, crossbow arrows and traditional arrows, which improves flight characteristics over traditionally manufactured, configured and/or applied vanes. Compound bends in the base of the vanes can be done by clamping the vanes in a channel having a generally straight portion and a generally bent portion. The bent portion can have a helical right bend or a helical left bend. A fletching jig can be used to glue the compound bent bases of the vanes to sides of an arrow shaft.
