Default Duravanes vs. Blazers

I'm getting ready to refletch my arrows and wanted to know is there any difference in these two vanes. Other than the fact that the duravanes are a couple of grains lighter and a few $$ cheaper. I shoot a whisker bisquit and have heard that they both hold up pretty good. Please help!!

Im assuming your talking about the duravane predators. If so they are just a tad lower profile than the blazers. I also noticed that the length of the duravanes varied alot more than the blazers. I was fletching up some arrows and had to sort through some of my white predators to get the same length ones. I never had that problem with blazers.

They are both excellent vanes. I've found that the Predator vanes shoot very consistently and are a bit more supple. The Blazer is obviously more stout and in my opinon, would be the better choice for shooting through your WB. Good luck and good shootin'

One thing to think about is if clearance is an issue, I would recomend going with the duravanes since they are slightly lower profile. I have heard of several people having trouble with getting clearance for their blazers.

I also would shoot the blazers,the WB is hard on fletchings and the blazers are a little more stout than duravanes I can also hold a better group with fixed broadheads with the 2inche blazers also.

Blazers here. And if there are issues with vanes tuching the frame of bisquit it can easily be resolved.
