Default Blazers Vs 4 inch

currently shooting 4 inch vanes thinking of switching to blazers. I was just wondering how the fly with field tips?

With field tips, the fly wonderfully as they also do with broadheads. The higher, stiff profile provides enough air drag to efficiently stabilize the arrow.

The past two seasons I've used Blazers on ACC's at 305 fps and can group multiple fixed blade, mechanical and field tips all together.

Blazers are great vanes. I recommend a hard offset or helical for Blazers.

I love my Blazers, but mine are straight due to the WB rest.

I ran the Blazers at a 4 degree offset with the Whisker Biscuit and didn't have any real issues. Put an extra drop of cement at each end of the fletch.

I'm three years in with the Blazers and I couldn't be happier. My groups tightened up as soon as I made the switch and I seem to be re-fletching less frequently becuse they are so durable. Just my $.02 .

Depends on your arrow. A very skinny carbon might have some clearance issues but larger aluminums would not. I have about a 4 degree offset on my ACC's and can get clearance if I turn the nock just right. I however shoot drop aways on my bows. I temp had a Premier on my General.
