They look like the ticket. You may have to get them ordered.

I've been shooting my 400's for about 2 weeks and they ARE very accurate and consistent. I've slammed them together at 50 yards shooting groups and so far, no damage. Mine are fletched with 2 inch Dura Vane Predators and shoot great even in the wind. I've also been shooting some of my best long distant groups with these arrows (50 and 60 yards) and don't even consider shooting at the same spot at 30 yards
I think you'd like them.

They are supposed to be proshop only, but I found these two by doing a yahoo search-

I've seen them cheaper on another site, but I must have googled that search.

Thanks, Guys I think I will try a batch of them, Ive been shooting the ICS hunters and like them so the elites should be better!

I'd use the predator vanes too. Been shooting them on some GT's and they do do well in the wind. What was the cost of those elites. Been thinking of switching shafts myself.

I have the 400's and they weigh 385 grains with the 2 inch Predator Dura Vanes and 100 grain field points. I'm getting 285 fps with them out of my '05 Allegiance ste on 60 pounds and 29 inch draw. The arrows are cut to 28 1/2 inches.

I got them ordered from Indoor outdoor archery. after shipping ,taxes, cut to length and nocks ($5.00) the total was a little over $90.00 for a dozen, you can also by them in 1/2 dozen lot also, thanks for the link..

Ive got a crock load of 2 inch blazers, so i quess i will have to try them, are the duravanes better? The arrow kinda broke the bank for now!!

Talk to Jon at Keystone and a dozen is 74.95, although the shipping is unclear. Could end up around 90. They have free going on but some other thing was mentioned.

I like the predator vanes but I don't know if they are as tough as the blazers if that matters (biscuit users). I know they fly better out of mine. They do weigh what they claim, the blazers are heavier than claimed. I think they weighed 9 grns a piece, supposed to be 5. That stiffness could be the difference in their flight characteristics in a cross wind as the shape is the same.

I'm going to order some too.
