Pdq, my brother-in-law uses them. One of the local shops got fed up with GT's last year(terrible factory fletching) and stopped carrying them half way thru the year and picked up the Blackhawks. My bro-in-law loves them and hasn't had the first problem with them. He picked up a little speed over the Terminators he was using because they are lighter. They are as smooth and quiet as the new-finish GT's as far as I could tell. I've used the Terminators, and really liked them. My bow seemed to really like them, too.
