Default Blazer Vanes new this year

Just put Blazer vanes on my arrows. Wondering what people think of them. I have heard nothing but good things about them, but since I have not been able to shoot them yet I am looking for some feed back. Let me know.

Lots of info here on these vanes, pretty tough to argue against them. Super tough, great stabilization. I used to shoot them, but with full length I get mroe consistent flight with 4" helical for my broadheads. With you arrows and heads, should fly great.

Funny you should post this. This past Friday I picked up the dozen goldtip xt hunters 7595 31.5" fletched with blazers that I ordered a week ago. I was thinking after ordering that maybe I was making a mistake since I never shot blazers before. When I shot them the first time I was blown away. I couldn't believe that just switching fletching would tighten my groups up so much. Hopefully it is not just a short term love affair with something new, but so far I'm sold. I shot 3 at 30 yards prior to posting, just to make sure and all 3 were touching. Be careful you don't break you arrows now.

I shoot carbon express maximas with the blazers and love them. No problems with my montec broad heads either.

this is my first year with them and they are tough. They stand up to the biscuit. No accuracy change but thats not a bad thing. Plus they look cool

I switched from QS 4" to the Blazers. The Blazers are more durable when shooting groups and stabilize a broadhead very well. You won't be disappointed.

Do you use a straight fletch or put a helical on them?

I am thinking of going over to the blazers but i am skepticalon their size. to me, a 4" fletching seems that it would have more control than a blazer. but i could be wrong...i've read that they are nothing short of the best

I love them, but one problem I had was vane clearance with the Quad Hunter drop away arrow rest. I was able to fix this problem easily by rotating the nock.
