blazers on a right helical
 

Can you fletch blazers on a right helical or would it be better to keep em straight. I just got a grayling jig and some blazers i am wanting to try out on my axis arrows.

keep them strait at a RH offset

explain more bps i am new to this fletching stuff bro

With most all shafts, the blazers will not attach with a right helical jig, because of how short they are. You can fletch them straight, but the best option is to fletch them offset, which is about a 2 degree lay. This will help promote spin, and the blazers will stay on the shaft. The jig manufacturers make an offset jig to do this.

You can use your right helical jig no problem. I do all the thime and they stay on just fine. If you can adjust how much helical you put on the van then don't put but just a little. The Blazer being only 2" you can not really put much twist or helical twist in them so don't worry about that. Put them on the back of the shaft abput 3/4 of inch of the valley of the nock.

i got mine on a right helical and boy they rock!!!

ok thanks guys i will try the little right helical at first then i will have to buy the offset clamp and get them reflecthed if they do not work

you can use a strait clamp and adjust the Jig to where the fletch is on a right hand off set to the arrow.

Well don't tell my A/C Super Slims and Bitzenberger jig that. I just fletched these yesterday.

I fletched mine RH with a Jo-Jan on the Superslim shaft without any problem. (Very similar to Mike from Texas.) Just make sure the jig is adjusted properly so that you've got full contact with the shaft.

You should try and set Blazers with a helical if you have the jig.

You won't notice as much helical wrap with Blazers as you would with 4-5" feathers or vanes, but that is because they are shorter. The flight effect is the same with Blazers, so you don't have to make the helical more extreme by adding offset toit. The blazers should - with a helical -stabilize arrows as effectively as any 4-5"vane or feather with the samehelical.

The only reason to move towards Blazers as opposed to 4-5" vanes or feathers (aside from the "Dude those look Cool!" effect) is for arrow rest clearance with smaller diameter arrows, or if you have an extremely low FOC (front-of-center), although 4" feathers would solve that problem just as effectively.Fletching with an offset serves no real purpose as you can easily clear any prong style rest with a 2 degree offset fletch using 4-5" vanes/feathers.

Blazers are especially un-necessary if you use a drop-away rest, or are still using larger diameter arrows 22/64ths or larger. I use a right helical and was not able to clear a GKF Premier rest with 4" vanes when I moved from 2413's to 20/64ths carbons, which is why I switched to Blazers. The Blazersseem to work as well, but I have also switched broadheads so the comparitive is not technically precise. Personally if I move to a Drop-Away rest I will fletch with 4" feathers - same (orless) weight and IMO better flight stabilization.

i use a rt helical jig, (bitzenburg) and put a fairly strong offset on them... and they fly amazing... used the same setup on different arrows for friends and stuff, they all have flown great

ok good well i should get the balzers and my jig in the mail soon so i can experiment with them
