Default blazer vanes

today i put some blazer vanes on my gold tip xt hunter, Im happy i did! they shot GREAT . I shot them out of a whisket biscuit, no problem with fletching clearance at all.

Im curious, for those with experience, how do broadheads shoot with blazers? *compared to the 4 in vanes* are there any broadheads that fly better than others? thanks for your input!

I shoot Thunderhead 100's with both Blazers and 4 inch vanes. Both shoot well but I think the Blazers seem to be better. I think it really comes down to a well tuned bow.

i shot 100 gr thunderheads last season, worked out well for me. i was just wondering if there were any differences between blazers and 4 in vanes. i think im going with the thunderheads this season.

i heard from someone that you shouldnt use large FBH with blazers because the blazers dont have enough surface area to stabilize the arrow.

Turkeys come with feathers for more than one reason.Better for broadheads-better for the environment

Yep I switched over last year, and man I won't go to a full length ever again. They shoot perfect with feild points and broadheads.

No regrets
