Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Hello, i was just wondering if people were happy or unhappy with there blazers. If you liked them and what problemes you had. Thanx for everything.

I use the 2" Blazers with right helical, and they have performed impressively so far.

Lots of good and no bad or ugly so far.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

havent heard any bad things about them

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Tried them for the first time tonight, field points only though... They are straight fletched and my arrows flew well. I notice that they seem a bit quieter than my usual 4" vanes.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I have been using them for a year now with no complaints at all.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

They are definately a very quiet fletching. I switched from 4 inch feathers and couldnt believe the difference.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I have just started toying with them myself so I will reserve further comment. However, I have not heard anything bad about them on the forums or down at the local shop.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

What adavntage do they have or regular 4"vanes?Just courious.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Lighter, quieter, stiffer and tougher.

The only thing I found about them with fixed blade broadheads is they limit you to using smaller diameter heads, less than 1 1/8". But, since that's what most guys use anyway...

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I am in the process af trying them out. I here great things about them

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Thing is, I feel that my regular vanes are stiff enough,tough enough,weight not an issue,and I don't hear them either.Also I wouldn't want to have to use a smaller diameter broadhead either.I haven't had any problems with broadhead flight using my regular vanes either.I have thought about messing around with the quick spins just for grins.They are probably a gimmic too.:)

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

So, my 1-3/16 inch muzzy 3 blades are too big? I find it hard to believe that a vane designed for fixed blade broadheads would be so limiting as to not work with some of the most popular broadheads around.... I guess I'll throw some practice blades on Sunday after I mess around on the 3D course and see what happens.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Not if everythings tuned properly.My Muzzys fly like darts with my Blazers. He may be refering to the much bigger heads (more than 1/16th" difference) , and I dont know personally because I've never tried anything bigger thanmy muzzys. I feel confident I could get great flight from a 1 1/4" head but anything bigger than that I wouldn't be looking at anyhow.


You know , they should give you a 5 minute grace period on editing a post for spelling errors before it says "message edited by.." and making youlook like a tard!

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I didn't have any 1 3/16"dia broadheads to try when I was testing the Blazers, but arrow flight with1 1/2" Magnus heads got pretty squirrely.;)

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I wouldn't doubt that a bit! Heads that big I'd save for a nice heavy slow moving shaft from my recurve.

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I am using the BlaZer vane and have nuttin bad to say about them , They fly awsome ....

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

Yep. They fly great with 5 1/2" magnum 'nanner cut feather fletch.:)

Heck, I knew I was pushing the envelope trying those big heads with itty bitty vanes, but had to try it. Anyway, all I am saying about the testing I did with Blazers is that my best results came with broadheads that were 1 1/8" dia or less. Arrow flight and accuracy were unacceptable with broadheads that were 1 1/4" and up.

Can somebody get the bigger heads to fly with Blazers? It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe somebody else wouldn't quite as picky about arrow flight and accuracy as I am. I'm comfortable saying they do okay for heads 1 1/8" dia or less, or mechs of course, because that's where I hit the limit in my testing.

One very important point to remember... The results I got were obtained with me standing on a shooting lane in perfect shooting conditions, not sitting in a treestand on a windy day.[&:]

RE: Good, Bad, Ugly of Blazer vanes
 

I love the Blazers, haven't found one negative thing about them yet. I went through my bow tackle box a few weeks ago and shot every broadhead I had in there. Really old stuff that I just can't get myself to throw out like, old Bear razorheads, the original Wasp 3 blade that I killed my first deer with in 1983, the first Satalite head etc......all of them flew with my field points at 20 yards.

Even the 1 1/2" ones.

I'm very happy with the Blazers and look forward to shooting them in the deer woods this fall. I'm also currently experimenting with the 1 1/2" Mini Blazers as well. Great product
