Another difference in them is the reduction in weight. It's not huge, but for speed freaks they can lose a few more grains by going with blazers. I have shot them for over a year now and don't know that I'll ever go back. They are tough as nails and fly awesome.

Antlerchaser,,you say you noticed NO differance,,but if you think about it....you got the same flight as your longer, larger vanes,,but with less weight and a bit better down range speed.

I was gonna mention thattooDroptines.

The big craze over the Blazers is the fact that they givegreat broadhead flight with a much smaller and lighter vane. They were made for broadhead flight and advertised as such. If you test them with broadheads and you're still not impressed , send me a pm and I'd be glad to take them off your hands.

antlerchaser , mobowhunter asked you a pertenate question ,were you useing field tips or fixed broadheds . Blazers are suposedly designed for fixed broadheads . If you answered this question I missed it .

Jimmy , yes I did answer it . I posted everything I did and why I did it. No , I didn't shoot them through ballistic jelly , no , I didn't shoot them through watermellons , no I didn't shoot them through aunt martha's ham to see how the fletching would handle it. The bottom line for me is , it is simply not worth it to strip the duravanes off my current 8 doz.arrows and replace them with Blazers but would have no problem buying shafts and placing Blazers on them in the future. I have already stated this but I don't think people take the time to read the posts. I do not go to shoots so can't speak of that , I hunt , and practice , hunt and practice and that's about it. The weight difference is pretty minnimal but if some of you think it's a big thing , that's fine. They do look pretty cool , I will give them that. This is getting pretty comical , you would think I was trashing these things - LOL

I shoot thru a WB for hunting, and no other vane can match the blazers - also, when shooting side by side with 4in vanes, there is noticeable speed increase with blazers, as well as more penetration into the block4x4. And to me they're consistently more accurate. I agree with the earlier post that the Blazer's top selling point is broadhead accuracy.

My understanding is that the only real advantages that the blazers are supposed to give you is better flight with fixed broadheads although I do not quite understand exactly why, less weight and less noise.

Shooting fieldtips with them simply showed you that the smaller vane performed just as well as a larger vane. The true test for you would be to try an identically sized duravane or plastifletch vane alongside the blazers.

Sorry I missed that you used only field tips , I did read the whole thread , but missed it . Like I stated before they were designed with fixed broadhead in mind , so your test was not what they were designed for . I shoot feathers exclusively , so I could care less , but I see alot of pepole hunt with these things nowadays .
