Blazers, added question?
#11
Is anyone fletching them offset from one another? I saw some on a hunting show last night and the guy had all three vanes at different locations on the shaft, not an offset fletch but different distances from the knock. Thinking of physics from way back I would think that this would be highly counterproductive and have the vanes working against themselves?

I've never heard of anyone with offset vanes. Sorry...

I have my shafts fletched at 4 degrees right helical, and they fly like darts. Even though I shoot a schaffer drop away rest, I had no problems at all getting clearance on a shoot through style rest. I was skeptical about the blazers until after much reading up on them on this site, I tried them. I will continue to shoot them until something better comes along. Good luck.

I just picked up my arrows last night (ACC's with blazers). I went ahead and spent the extra $$$ to have them crested. These things look GREAT!
After I got my arrows, I tuned my bow there at the shop, and I can say that the arrows fly dead right on the money. A couple shots being dead center 10 ring. Really good to think that I didn't just dump a ton of money on arrows for no improvement. These things are WAY better than my old setup!
I shoot my arrows through a Whisker Biscuit. No problems at all. I originally had a clearance problem, but I probably had that before and didn't see it. Once tuned, I was all good. No more problems. Arrows fly like darts. Really really good lookin darts!

I tested my broadheads (3 bladed Muzzy's - 100 grain) while I was there, and I was hitting the same exact holes that my field points left with my broadheads without having to adjust anything. No tuning required at all.
That was the best shooting that I have done all year, and probably the best money I have spent all year as far as my bow goes.
I'm sold on all of it.
