Blazers and helical question
I have an Arizona EZ fletcher that does pretty strong right helicals. I have been considering trying Blazer vanes.
Question: Can you put a helical on Blazers or are they meant to be straight or offset fletched?
I went to the Bohning site but couldn't find any info about how they recommend to fletch them or if they recommend against a helical.

RE: Blazers and helical question
I fletched my blazers with a Right Hel. from an Arizona EZ fletch and the fly pretty dang good. I don't imagine you'll have any problems. Also, since the fletches are so small you don't really get the big helical that you would think you would.

RE: Blazers and helical question
Straight fletched Blazers would be a waste of money and time. The whole point behind them is they are stiffer and spin better than softer vanes when fletched with some sort of offset.
You will need a drop a way most likely though, they are not forgiving at all with contact issues.

i shot epics with right helical blazers on them this season...i shot 4 inch right helical feathers before...i think i had contact issues with the feathers...i didnt check...they got beat up quick and made too much noise for me..
blazers shot great for me. when i switched i was slamming shafts at 35yds...feathers i couldnt seem to get that tight of a group at 35.
broadheads? blazers are made for them. if i tried long enough i could robinhood a FP arrow with a broadhead arrow. my bow is pretty well tuned as well...but they fly just the same..thats with a bunch of diffrent fixed blade heads and mechanicals...
i will switch arrows...but they will have blazers on them...
ps...i shoot a nap 1000 prong rest and dont have a clearance problem with them. feathers im pretty sure i did..no matter what i tried i did...the cut in the prong is still there from teh base of the feathers..
oh...alot more durable...cant count how many passed through my bag and 3 inch hard foam target...they are all fine...one i sent through too many times finally got a small 1/4 inch tear..that arrow still shoots true..makes a funny noise..but shoots true...
