I think the contact issue has much to do with those instances where blazers seem to perform less than admaribly. As previously stated, if you have even the slightest fletching contact, the stiffness of the blazers will cause them to fistail or porpoise wildly.

That being said, I am able to consistently shoot 6-7" BH groups with my Blazer fletched arrows....at 80 yards!

Inside 80 they are every bit as accurate as I am shooting that day. Inside 40, I can't shoot at the same spot because I end up refletching or RH too many arrow shafts.
