atlasman , I agree with you on all points and even asked myself the same question after buying and shooting them - LOL. I was looking for very tight groups which I got with the 3 blazers I shot and then also with the 6 duravaned arrows so if i was more in tune to my form as you suggest , it was consistant with both products and thus - no difference. So my reaction was , big deal , all hype, and that is how I still feel about them. I feel very confident with my set up as isbut am old enough to know , when a product comes along that gets people talking , it's worth checking out as long as it doesn't costme anarm and a leg to do so.

Everything I shoot now has come about through talking and LISTENING to what other have to say and trying to seperate the wheat from the chaff and soon you start to get to know who knows what they are talking about and who is full of hot air. Some folks as you say , talk highly of thier set up because they paid alot for it and they can't deal with the thought of making bad choices and then talk up the products whether thay are good or not.

My next experiment will be to try slick tricks . My thunderheads have been incredibly impressive and will be an arms reach away but the reports on these newer heads have my interest peaked and that, in my mind , is a good thing . Keep checking out new things , keep trying to get that little advantage and to be the best you can be - we owe that much to the animals IMO. Not sure I answered your question but I typed alot - LOL . Good hunting
