Default RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes

I wouldn't doubt that a bit! Heads that big I'd save for a nice heavy slow moving shaft from my recurve.
Yep. They fly great with 5 1/2" magnum 'nanner cut feather fletch.

Heck, I knew I was pushing the envelope trying those big heads with itty bitty vanes, but had to try it. Anyway, all I am saying about the testing I did with Blazers is that my best results came with broadheads that were 1 1/8" dia or less. Arrow flight and accuracy were unacceptable with broadheads that were 1 1/4" and up.

Can somebody get the bigger heads to fly with Blazers? It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe somebody else wouldn't quite as picky about arrow flight and accuracy as I am. I'm comfortable saying they do okay for heads 1 1/8" dia or less, or mechs of course, because that's where I hit the limit in my testing.

One very important point to remember... The results I got were obtained with me standing on a shooting lane in perfect shooting conditions, not sitting in a treestand on a windy day.[&:]
