If I shot vanes I would shoot Blazers, but since I'm a feather guy I shoot the new Razr Feathers:)

I would recommend that you try both if you have the means. Otherwise go with Blazers.

All I can say is it really is up to you, but I have switched to blazers and really do like them. Shooting Blazers, AC-SS's and Strikers...

Justreally no point these days in shooting a full length vanes these days. They certainly won't fly any better than the Blazers or the Predator vanes.

Not necessarily....But maybe......Most likely cause of that is a tuning issue.....

Personally, I LOVE the Blazers........I would shoot feathers if keeping them dry wasn't such a PITB......

you're getting 275fps out of that Buckhunter? What weight and DL are you shooting?

I may just fletch up a few of my Gold Tip CAA's with feathers this year to try out next to the blazers. It's been an awfully long time since I last shot feathers................

Well they wouldn't be nearly so hard to keep dry if you'd quit drooling every time you see a deer... :eek:

I'm changing over to Blazers from feathers this year. Like SO many have pointed out to me recently, it's time to do something different. ;)

There's absolutely no way. What does your arrow weigh?

What's the IBO on the bow? and you saw from your KE post that that calculator isn't all that accurate.

i shot 4" right helical feathers for a month or so last year. i liked them. looked cool...flew good...but man they make noise...atleast mine did...and i beat them up way to hard. werent very durable. if i passed through my target at a shot up hole in it id loose the feathers.

i switched to blazers..and man i like them. they fly great. no noise. durable as heck. ive passed them through my hard foam target and they pop back into shape no problem. broadheads fly great...but only out of a well tuned bow...like any fletching. i dont care what they say about fletchings and broadheads that "fly like fieldpoints" if your bow aint tuned good your not going to get good flight...and arent going to group with your fieldpoints. if you take the time to broadhead tune you will beable to shoot a dozen arrows with a dozen different heads and fieldpoints and they should all group together. i shot 4 or 5 different broadheads and my fieldpoints from mine and i cant tell what arrow has what on it by where it hit...they all shoot true...why? because i took the time to fidgit with my bow to get it that way.

the only major issues with blazers is sometimes clearance..and their stiffness. they are stiffer than normal vanes. they hit something they dont give at all..say you nick a branch..feathers will fold and sometimes not get affected...but blazers your going to have troubles. thats one reason i liked feathers...never know when youll hit that invisible branch with just a fletching...
