Default RE: How Blazers work

Kidd,
I'm no archery expert, but TFOX is right. It's a simple physics issue. The thing is, if a 4" vane is close to the same height as a 2" vane, you have almost twice as much "sail area" (to use a Navy term). That is, in a cross wind, there's almost twice as much surface area to catch the wind and kick the tail of the arrow around. I was shooting blazers with my first bow, and now I'm shooting 4" vanes. There's a marked difference in arrow flight between the two when shooting in a crosswind. I can't say, though that there'sa large difference in accuracy at shorter yardage, though.
