If it isn't consistent from shot to shot then either the arrows don't match (fletch contact/alignment going through rest is the usual culprit) or it's the indian behind the bow. Properly fletched Blazers do a fine job of stabilizing a well shot arrow.

I just switched to blazers as well and had the same problem. This is what I found because I shoot the whisker bisquit with the biggest hole in the middel I found the higher profile Blazer was striking the frame on the bisquit so I switched back to the 4" low profile fletch and I am shooting darts out to 40 yards again with no problems (3"groups at 40 yards).

Sounds like fletching contact to me. Try turning them until they do not hit anything. I had the same problem. Now I shoot the cock vane down and have no clearance issues.

cock vane down wouldnt that bottom vane be hitting the black part of the rest that is supposed to be stiffer?,,,what i was told was always cock vane up.

I've used both Blazers and feathers; I've shot my best groups (broadheads included) with Blazers.
