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.

Feathers work wet or dry. Feathers work new or tattered. Feathers work when they have holes in them. If you are having problems getting a feather fletched arrow to fly straight then you are doing something seriously wrong 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.
To each his own...

Hmm but arnt feathers more expensive?

Yes, but there worth every pennie IMO

Do you know how much feathers are per 6 or 12 arrows?
I am shopping for arrows and I would like to get the "best bang for the buck."
The blazers I am looking at right now are about 70$ for 12
Thanks,

Well they do make two inch feathers now.
