If you shoot a lot vanes will wrinkle. If you take a hair drier to them before they get too bad you can keep em in pretty good shape. If you shoot quikspin vanes i wouldnt recommend the wb. I used the wb for one season and upgraded to a QAD ultrarest. Has the advantages of the wb and a drop away. You should check it out.

Exactly. Blazers are more ridid and therefore less likely to sustain damage while passing through the whiskers....Your vanes are going to get beat up pretty badly.

Have ya'll checked out the new NAP 360 capture rest yet? Same principle, but the vanes don't pass through whiskers, they pass through air....Pretty cool.

I shot was shooting with the fletching that came on my bow..about 5 shots and 2 arrows had already had the fletching rip off of them. I went to the store and picked up some blazers...have shot my bow hundreds of times since then and there isn't a scuff on the blazers.

Been shooting blazers through a whisker biscuit since blazers came out with no problems. As a matter of fact, the whisker biscuit is starting to wear and the blazers are fine. (I shoot a lot)

Alot of the WB problems is going to come down to how your bow is tuned. I have shot the WB forover ayear now and am yet to tear a vane, and ido my share of shooting.
