Default General blazer vane clearence issue

Do any of you guys who shoot the General and Blazer vanes have any clearence issues? I cocked the vanes kind ofdiagonal which seems to have fixed it hitting my cable...I think.I think I'malso just having a hard time with it not bothering me now.

Thanks, Mer

I had that problem on my FX, I'm kinda surprised that they're hitting the cable on a General. I would've guessed that it pulled the cable over a little more. That being said, I could not get my Rip-cord to drop fast enough on my bow. No matter what I did, my blazers always hit the rest. Now I'm shooting a Hostage Pro with feathers and I love em both!

I had the problem on my Black Ice.....trying 4" Quikspins now...

Blazers measure 0.600 - 0.610 the QS were 0.520 - 0.550" which made the difference for me...

Just my 2 cents, I dont think that many guys even know to look for it..

Are you shooting cock vain up? I can clearly see as I look from behind my nocked arrow that it was hitting.

Yes, I am shooting cock vane straight up.

I would have swore that they would be hitting my cables because of how they looknocked on the stringbut I have checked with powder and lip stick and they are clearing my cables.
