mobowhuntr, let me know what you think of the Vanetecs. I wasn't estatic at first but the more I shoot the Vanetecs the more I like them. I find the Blazers are ok, but I am not totally pleased with them, although they are tough and perhaps the best memory vane I have ever used. I am finding the Vanetecs to be just as tough and a little better sticking after heavy use.......and that is fletching them the same way. As a matter of fact I am getting ready to strip my Blazer vanes this evening.....think I am replacing them with Vanetecs.
