RE: Blazer Vains?
I don't know they seemed to make a "Whooossshhhh" sound when I hit the release, espically in the woods where it was calm, I doubt the deer even if it could hear it, would be able to "duck" before it was already through at closer ranges, but what about the 35-45 yard shot? Maybe I should just try them in hunting situations, my brother in N.M uses them while Elk and mule deer hunting, who knows....

RE: Blazer Vains?
I have not expirienced this problem with them, but refrering to your comment about ducking the arrow, it has been provin that deer are more likely to duck an arrow at 15 or 20 yards as opposed to 30 or 40. I know this seems backwards, but the sound of the bow/arrow at closer ranges startles them more causing them to react faster, where-as with a 30 or 40 yard shot the sound comes accross more subtle which doesn't spook them as bad. I'm not tryin' to pick any bones here i am just imforming you so you can make a better choice about your problem.

You are correct,they are more likely to just turn and look at the source of the noise when shot at 35 yards thansquat to run.I refer to it as the BOO factor.If someone jumps out from behind a door and yells boo,you will flinch,if they yell boo from across the room,you will look at them like they are crazy.[8D]
As far as Blazers making noise,I don't have much experience with them but the limited experience I have has yielded very little to no noise.I still prefer feathers.[
