Default RE: Are Blazers really that good or is it hype!!

I don't really know yet........I do know I won't really test their capability to stabilize fixed blade heads at all as I have alwyas shot them with mechanical heads whenever I did use them.
I shot them exculsively from 97' through about 2000 I think? Since 97' you ask?
Yep........I used to have my A/C/C's fletched by the guy who "invented" the Blazers. They weren't called Blazers back then , and each one was cut by hand to that shape out of a full length vane(Back then I think they were cut from a Bohning "Knife Edge" vane....I think that was the name?). I still have a few downstairs in the arrow bin with the pen marks on them as reference for cutting.
The production model "Blazers" are quite different from my old ones in texture and rigidity. The new ones are thicker and stiffer than the ones I have used in the past, but the shape is the same....and they don't seem to taper as much.

I picked up a bunch of the new Blazers at the ATA show and will fletch up a 1/2 doz. of something to try them. I did fletch up a couple CE CX300's with them and they fly pretty good, but I haven't really done a lot of shooting with them.

I do know I really liked my original ones fletched with a few degrees of offset and Rocket heads.......that combo shot through quite a few animals.[:-]
