This is the very first year I'll be shooting the actual Bohning packaged "Blazers" but I've shot the first prototype Blazer vanes as far back as 1997.

I used to frequent the shop of the guy who designed them and finally got Bohning to make them after a bunch of years trying. (Dave Andrews, from Frackville, PA)
He would take a regular Bohning 5" vane (never would tell me which model) and hand cut each one into the now familiar profile. I still have some of his originals somewhere with the pen marks on them where he would measure before cutting.

What is the difference between the 2 in performance. I always wanted to try the blazers jsut because they looked cool but never really heard of any performance difference

The performance advantage comes from the ability to steer broadheads like a larger vane but without the weight which affects speed and FOC.
