Default Another fletching question

I just bought a new Guardian recently and I'm tinkering with my arrows. The DL on my old bow was 2" longer than it should have been so I'm going to cut my arrows down ( I checked the charts and I still won't be overspined). I shoot XX78's 2315 w/125 gr. broadhead W/4" quickspins(I used to use a prong style rest). Now I have a drop away and I can use a larger offset or helical. I want to get away from the QS. Also don't want to consider feathers because of moistures effects.I'm looking forsome alternatives....something that works for you guys.

I have tried a lot of different fletching, and keep coming back to the 2" Blazers with a hard helical offset.

I did forget to mention I shoot a fixed blade BH, how do you think the 2" would stabilize this setup?

They shoot great for me. I've used the G5 Montec, Slicktrick, and Muzzy with 2" Blazers. Just make sure you use a significant RH helical offset - about as much as the Blitz will stand and still maintain good fletch contact with the shaft.

I would go with the 2'' blazers.
