3 fletched with Blazers and 6 fletched with 5" plastic vanes) my coclusion was that there is simply no difference.

I didn't find any difference between those and 5 inch feathers either, and the feathers weigh less.

They are supposed to give you "as" good of accuracy as a 4" vane !! For folks wanting that extra bit of speed or more foc .............they are perfect...........same accuracy but less weight !

I repeat they didn't do anything I can't get done with a 4 or 5 inch feather.

Just got my blazers in the mail today, and fletched them up. I will have a report for you tomorrow at about this time. I hope i like them, they just look so small compared to my 4" feathers.

I shot 2" Blazers for the first time last year and all my arrows are fletched with them now. They are light, easy, tough and accurate. I saw improved broadhead flight especially at longer distances say like 40-50 yards......this is with 4 blade Stingers. Did they knock my socks off as an unbelievable step up???? Of course not.........but then again nothing in archery really does once you get to a certain point. Improvements in archery come in VERY small doses and are very subjective to individual tastes.

Except repell water.

Send them to me then and I'll put them to good use.

I purchased a 100 pak of Blazer vanes...
My question is, why in the world would you buy a 100-pack just to try them out? Those things aren't cheap! [&:]

you're probably right, but they look cool, which lets face it, weighs heavily in many shooters scorebooks

As already mentioned, they perform the same whether wet or dry. They are as light as feathers (improved FOC) and they are silent compared to feathers. I still have a few arrows fletched with feathers and shot them the other day to compare. I couldn't believe just how loud the feathers were compared to the blazers. We spend a ton of money and time to silence our bows - doesn't make sense to shoot a loud arrow. Seems like a no brainer to me.
