Default blazers or quikspin STs

I started with the original quikspins i love them. one of the guys at the pro shop that i bought my setup from said he hated them and would not even talk about them with me. The other guy who knows his stuff used the quikspins. I was shooting better then the guy two days after buying my bow. He looked at my group with a robin hooded arrow and said mmmm maybe i need to switch. lol The only proplem i have had is you can all but look at them sideways and trash a vane. But i guess the new ones are said to be alot stronger and duralble

i prefer the quickspin st vanes.they are tough and durable vanes and i think they help with grouping especially at longer distances. i would think about the quickspin st speed hunter as well,they look like a blazer.

I thought the quikspin sts where the speed hunters. I did not realize there was a quikspin st and a st speed hunter.

st just stands for super tough, atleast what i was told.

the speed hunters are the two inch versions, much like the blazers, but in the quickspin design.

i went to quickspins and havnt looked back.. awesome design, greatly improves accuracy, and seem to hold up to getting thwacked by other shafts getting stacked on eachother

only problem i have with them is they are $20 for a pack of 36, so automatically, im spending $40 on vanes to fletch an already $120 set of shafts,

but its worth it i wreckin

I'm shooting 1.5"Dia. 3 arrow groups at 30 yards consistantly with the Blazers. Haven't shot the ST's yet...but I don't have a reason to switch anything right now.

tell me though i guess a dozen would cost 40 due to you need to colors and most pro shops do not sell them loose. But when you refleatch you will have a set just switch colors. I think i will go with my first choice in the quikspins. Just figured i would look at the blazers. Seems there quickly going out of favor.
