adding 40 fps seems a little crazy

blazers.....they add 40fps to my arrow
I'm not sure about that one

I shoot vanes. I don't think feathers would be too great to shoot out of a WB

Blazers with a wrap; they are waterproof, quiet in flight and quiet if I accidently contact them when hunting.

I've shot feathers since I started shooting. Just this year I started shooting blazers. I won't ever shoot feathers again. They are slow and noisy. And they aren't that durable. I was always replacing them. Constant upkeep. I love these blazers, I wo't shoot anything else. Hopes this helps.
I'll bite,how in the heck are feathers slower than Blazers? Please don't say because they slow down faster,it just isn't true,especially at hunting distances.


I have found when I put my feathers on with a helical twist that they aren't loud at all and when the feathers get ripped to pieces,they still fly true,but will get a litlle noisy then so I will concede that point.

Yup Gotta LOVE helical
