Picked up some Razyr feathers...

So I had a bit of free time this afternoon and I swung by Cabelas only to find that our store had finally recieved a shipment of Gateway Razyr feathers. Some of you may know that I've been interested in these feathers for sometime, but have not found anyone locally who carried them.

I promptely came home and began the process of stripping off my old wraps and fletching to make way for my FMJ's new colors. After stripping three, I wrapped and fletched them.

Giving them a few minutes to dry, I got things situated and then went into the backyard for a little comparison. Apparently I'm shooting a little right, but I think thats beside the point. (Yeah, my Block 4x4 has seen better days. Way better days.) I shot my first group with my arrows still fletched with Blazers and wasn't too suprised at the group. I shot the next three fletched with the razyrs and was suprised to see the group shrink.

Showed them off to the family and was lectured on the fact that feathers suck; they make noise, they'll flatten in wet weather, blah, blah, blah. We'll see. So far I'm liking them.

Whether they're better or not, they look frickin awesome.

I tried those feathers earlier this year. They were excellent. I loved em, and they look sweet.

Im back to blazers now...though Im not sure why[>:]

I still have some in my box. I think I may go fletch up a few and start shooting these little guys again.

They deffintely look sick. Even if they don't perform better, I think I'll stick with them because they look cool.

I just got some the other day for my new Victory arrows. I got all white so I can see the blood better this fall.

I like the looks of them, and they seem to fly pretty good too!

I used all white too.

The idea of all white is awesome; unless of course you hunt one of Washington's foot deep winter snows. Missed a shot at a doe late season four years ago and lost the arrow until the next spring when I was clearing lanes. [>:]

I suppose, considering the idea is to not miss then all white really is a good idea. [&:]

Great looking arrows! I would like to see an accuracycomparison between the feathers & Blazers with the same broadhead. I believe (know) I get better groups with 3'' feathers than Blazers.

If you stick with feathers you should definitely look into using fletch tape. It holds as well as any glue but replacing fletches and the clean up involved is vastly easier. It is also less messy all the way around.
