Default Blazers or Quickspins?

I guess I should start off by apologizing because I know this has probably been brought up 100 times.

I got a good deal on a dozen Axis shafts at a sports show and am going to get them fletched up, but wanted to get some feedback first.

I shot blazers last year with fixed blade broadheads and was very pleased with them. My local archery shop talked me out of the quickspins because of the weight and the cost.
However, I see that they now have a short version of the quickspins that are very similar to the blazers. Any help you guys can give would be appreciated.

The Blazers are much more durable and less expensive.

Agreed, blazers for sure, lasted way longer through my whisker buscuit.

If you go to the NAP web site the newest version of the 2" speed hunter is made of a more durable material. I have not tried them yet but I have tried the current version and they are plenty durable. The 4" quik spins do wave up if they come in contact with anything in flight.

But the cost is one thing to consider too - they are more expensive than the blazer vanes. They both work just fine with controlling a broadhead.

Since you shoot a drop away, the WB is a non-issue shooting the quick spins. I am going with Blazers ... i have researched this topic, and I can tell you most guys love them. Again, they are cheaper and more durable.

What about the spin factor, they say the quick spins turn more times than a regular vein. I don't know what to think, but some guys swear by quick spins.

I use 2in. Duravanes, a little cheaper than Blazers. Fly very well!
