Default How did you fletch your Blazers...??

I think I might have screwed up... I fletched them straight (maybe slight offset but not much)... When they fly I can basically watch the arrow go straight... Doesn't seem to twist much at all with the broadheads (Muzzy Phantoms)... I didn't get to shoot enough to know if they flew good or not, but I am thinking I may want to fletch them with a helical jig...

Let me know what you guys have done and the results you saw...

What kind of rest are you using--that makes a difference in the amount of helical you can use on the vanes. A drop away is the best rest for this--otherwise you'll have to conservative.
A tad bit of offset works good enough with the Blazers--using a helical jig you'll get quite a drastic offset and you really don't need that much. JMHO.

Mine are just 1 degree offset out of my Arizona EZ fletch. They fly very well like that.

Same here. They're so short they don't show the helical that much. It's hard to see it any difference at all unless you look from the back.

I use a WB and have no problems with that comboat all.

I use a Jo-Jan, which I like, but I've heard the Bitzenburgers might be better.
