Staggered vanes
I just watched Bowtech'S tv show. They were bowhuntin Prarie dogs. One of the guys had 2" vanes, not sure if they were blazers or not, but they were staggered up the shaft by about 1/2". I have not seen this before. What is the reasoning behind it?

RE: Staggered vanes
I watched one of thier shows not to long ago. They were talking about how was the propper way to set up a bow for an archer. I noticed when the guy went to shoot field tips and broadheads that his vanes, I think they were blazers, were offset to. They were offset a lot more than a half inch. It was more like half the length of the fletching. I found this odd and wondered what the purpose of this was too??

RE: Staggered vanes
I read about it last year, and they claimed to have the benefits of small vanes(light weight, less drag) but with them staggered around the shaft it performed like longer vanes, they claimed to have the speed and wind resistance of the two inch vanes, but the stability of four inch vanes. I havent tried it yet, and am still apprehensive about it, but would like to know more about if it works.
