Default blazer vanes

today i put some blazer vanes on my gold tip xt hunter, Im happy i did! they shot GREAT . I shot them out of a whisket biscuit, no problem with fletching clearance at all.

Im curious, for those with experience, how do broadheads shoot with blazers? *compared to the 4 in vanes* are there any broadheads that fly better than others? thanks for your input!

I shoot Thunderhead 100's with both Blazers and 4 inch vanes. Both shoot well but I think the Blazers seem to be better. I think it really comes down to a well tuned bow.

i shot 100 gr thunderheads last season, worked out well for me. i was just wondering if there were any differences between blazers and 4 in vanes. i think im going with the thunderheads this season.

i heard from someone that you shouldnt use large FBH with blazers because the blazers dont have enough surface area to stabilize the arrow.

I may try some of the new Blazer X2 vanes...smaller and the ones I have put on field points are great,now for broadhead trials!

Turkeys come with feathers for more than one reason.Better for broadheads-better for the environment

Yep I switched over last year, and man I won't go to a full length ever again. They shoot perfect with feild points and broadheads.

No regrets
