I just started shooting with blazers and haven't had a problem *yet.*

Before that I was using just a basic 4" vane and found a drip of glue at the tip of the fletch kept them from being pulled.
Over time they would get a little wavy, but arrow flight didn't really seem affected.
I left it better than I found it...did you?

ive had quite a few blazers ripped of from it. but i also found a dab of glue and the fronts and backs of the vanes worked wonders.

I took my biscuit and shaved the hairs off were they would come in contact with my blazer vanes. Worked great and improved my group!

Great idea Headshot, can't believe I never thought about that :bash: :mor: I have been wanting to go to this rest but didn't want the problems associated with it, this might help a lot. Even if the bristles freeze from the weather this would still allow it to function like its supposed too, thanks for the tip.

I have never lost a blazer vane shooting through a WB and I have shot 2 solid years with them approximately 2-3000 shots. Never had a problem with frozen whiskers either. I firmly beleive that it is one of the better hunting rests on the market. Don't be afraid to give one a try, very inexpensive compared to other rests. If tuned correctly you can have excellent groups. C@%& vane up so that your bottom 2 vanes straddle the black whiskers. The black whiskers are stiffer to keep the arrow from sinking down at release.

IMO its the best way to fly!!   Can always use arrow wraps.  Near impossible to get vanes off a wrap.

I've got a hostage rest on my bow and I found that the lower right vanes were getting wavy. After looking at it some more, I realized the blazer vanes were hitting the cable and not necessarily being affected by the rest; especially where it was always the lower right one.

I ended up putting a new cable slide on and it solved the problem. I bet if I continued shooting it like that, I would've started losing vanes.

Is it pretty consistent with a specific vane or are all of the vanes getting munged up?

I shoot 4" vanes and mine have gotten wavy from the whisker biscuit.  Didnt really seem to make a difference, but it made me uncomfortable so I was never a fan. I went back to a drop away and have been fine.

I have heard that if you trim the whiskers down that wil help and that a lot of people do this, I shoot 4 in vanes and do get the ripple effect but doesn't make a difference in where the arrow hits.
