I am currently tinkering with the blazers now and they seem to perform quite well. I have yet to hear a real negative comment about them. They would get my vote initially.

No matter how well they make a vane feathers are still lighter, feathers still control the arrow better, and feathers still are more forgiving.

Mother nature is very hard to improve upon.

I've been experimenting with the Blazers for 2 years now. I'm done experimenting , they are my choice for fletchings.

Bigbulls is right about one thing , feathers are lighter.
Feathers dont control my arrow any better , nor are they more forgiving. So for the pro's and con's list , that just leaves the weight issue -vs- the durabilty/bad weather issue. For me it was a no-brainer. I'll give up 1 - 2 fps second in favor of a fletching that I dont have to worry about in the rain or snow.

I tryed bohnings blazer vanes last year when they came out.fletched them on the new axis shafts wow very impressed all the fixed broadheads i tryed hit with field point accuracyat 30 yards. as for feathers they are forgiving but i hunt rain or shine. when it rains your feathers lay flat on the shaft have to use a hair dryer to get them to stand back up tryed all the waterprofing did not help.
