Nodog, you are correct in that if using the same size vanes the blazers are just as heavy if not heavier, but the key is the blazers are much stiffer and you can use a much smaller vane and get more control out of it so they actually weight less. Most blazer set ups don't weigh much more than a 4 or 5 inch feather fletched arrows. And they control about as well. They just are not very forgving because they are so stiff is all.
