Default blazer vanes???

I have been watching American Archer and they are really hyping the Blazer vanes. T. Nelson also shoots a whisker bisket. I shoot feathers (4" I think) and aluminum arrows. I also have liked shooing feathers. Questions: Do the blazers work on aluminums? Is it worth it to go to a Blazer vane? Do they hold up with the WB? (I assume so if Nelson uses both) What would I gain with theBlazers?

I need to get new arrows this season so now would be the time to switch if I were going to.

I flecthed some ACC's with 2" for a friend mine a few days ago.
We compared them to the 4" feathers he was using, they held nice tight groups and were 4 fps faster on the chronograph. As for them holding up to the whisker they seem to be fine.

Thats all I can say about them for now since we just startedusing them.

Blazer's are absolutely the best that I've used ,you'll lose 10 gr from your total arrow weight and they assume stability as good or better than any fletch I've ever used .I'll be using the from here on in.

I shoot blazers and usually at20 yards all 5of my A/C/C's are touching.I did some testing. I shot a 5" feather with a Stinger on the end, then a blazer with a Stinger on the end. I shot the feather off of the first arrow. Moral of the story, they shoot just as good as a feather. They just don't look as good.

Here are some arrows I made up today for hunting... I didn't like them with the W.B. only because they made more noise flying threw the biscuit than a dura vane, they are thicker... They are the most durable vane on the market without a doubt! And worth the money.

Yep, it's easy,, here's some I did yesterday.. Someone had a post on cresting several weeks ago.. I think it was on the bowhunting forum.
I do it by hand using model paints.
