I shoot 4 inch AAE vanes. Never shot the 2" blazers yet but would like to try them out. Might pick up a pack of them to try out with so many people giving them the thumbs up.
I like the AAE's as they seem to be the most rugged vanes I have found.

Yes, I have. The fly just fine when wet. Wet feathers causing problems is a myth. Feathers also fly just fine even when missing sections. Feathers are not at all hard to get flying straight.

I recently checked my gear with a UV Black light and was really surprised to see how vividly the Blazer vanes glowed. Deer see UV light and I wonder if the glow of arrows (stationary or moving) would alert & set them off. My arrows with the VaneTec vanes did not glow. I'm thinking of refletching my hunting arrows with the VaneTecs.

I have as well and they fly fine. If you cant get feathers to fly well your obviously no fletching them right. Im shooting some right now that have been compleatly through my target a couple times, they look like crap and they still fly perfect. Feathers rule, end of story.

Have you ever tried to shoot feathers when they got wet from the rain and/or snow? They (feathers) are hard to get to fly straight to begin with.

IMO,Feathers are more durable!
Feathers will come back to shape easier then a vane,
Especially if ur shooting thru one of the capture rest
like whisker biscuit etc.They will ripple a vane etc after a couple shots,But a feather will not ripple etc.and are more forgiving.
