RE: blazers question!!
I just finished fletching my arrows with the Blazers, so far they are great. Ive only shot field points with them, but they fly great and group well. I fletched them with as much helical as I could get on them and still have full contact. Im going to shoot broadheads on them tomorrow to see hwo they do. Ive heard a lot of guys say they love them with their broadheads,. so I hope they are good as everyone says.

I shot both the quikspins and the blazers and I picked the blazers. They are a great fletching. However, it's always different from person to person and you should experiment with a couple arrows before you change your whole fleet.

RE: blazers question!!
To be honest, I'm not sure what all the hype really is about with these things. I started shooting them last year, the main thing I like about them is they are extremely quite (shooting them through a WB), don't get any of that hissing noise that i sometimes got with feathers. However, as far as stabilizing an arrow, I don't think they do any better job than anything else out there. Matter of fact, I'm seriously considering going back to the feathers with a good old RH fletch.

RE: blazers question!!
I started using them a few months ago. They are lighter so it slightly increases speed, and they stabilize as well as larger heavier vanes. I think they are noticibly quieter too. Also, they seem to be tougher. I have only gotten one slight tear on one vane that I hardly noticed. Using 4 inch whatever vanes,they tend to get torn up pretty quickly. Its funny though, one direct hit the other day took a wholeBlazervane off, no rip or tear. My field points and broadheads group together at 30 yards, good enough for me. I haven't shot broadheads further than that, but I get decent groups with field points out to 50. Never shot further than that.

RE: blazers question!!
I just started using them as well, with a rh offset, but they seem extreemly durable. I have the wisker biscuit and they have no "wavyiness" as compared to other generic 4in fletching which might be because they are so much thicker. Also, I am no expert on stabilization, but my Slick Tricks are identical to field tips to 35-40yards.
