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 have the blazers on my Easton Axis arrows. Why? Because they came on the arrows.[8D] But I do love them.

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.

I have a set of a dozen feathers, a set of 6 regular vanes, and a set of a dozen feathers. I love modern technology, but from what i have seen feathers are just the way to go...if it aint broke dont fix it right?
