Tfox, I'm not doubting you, just don't remember hearing that before. What physics principle is involved there? I'm also wondering how much less stable an arrow is going 210 fps vs 250 fps. Any additional details would be appreciated.

The slower the arrow flies the MORE stabilization it will need.This would mean that the blazers probably wouldn't be as good as a 4" feather for you.

I think I read something to that effect in the Easton tuning guide but can't seem to find it.
It does state that a fast arrow can't have too much drag or it will become unstable at distance and groups will open up.
Maybe I remembered that and correlated it to the slower arrows needing more stability,I am not sure.There is a slight chance I am wrong on this one,slight.
Maybe if you feel like reading the whole tuning guide,you will be able to find it.[&:]
Of course,things like foc will changes things,the heavy foc like you use would probably allow you to use no fletching.[8D]

Less speed probably means less drag, but a slower arrow is in the air longer, exposing it to the drag for a longer time. I was thinking it was kind of a wash, but drag probably has some geometric relationship to speed. You probably are right, but if the FOC is high enough and the spine is correct, very little drag is needed (proven by how my bareshafts fly)
