QuickSilver...
Stromann does seem like a standup kindof guy. I am actually looking into going out there and hunting in '08 or '09 w/ those guys in the story and him. I'll keep you posted on that.
As far as the 2" blazers... after awhile they do seem to become brittle and will crack. I usually shoot at least 50 shots a night per league 2x per week and then another couple dozen a couple nights per week at home... Lots of shooting.
They do last quite some time though. I would recommend them over vanes or feathers any day of the week. I feel they are much more durable through the WB than anything else.
