No need to shoot them all.  Although it is a good idea to assemble them just to make sure a shallow blade slot didn't make it past me.  With all the trouble in supply chain issues we have had I have been taking it upon myself to inspect every single ferrule.  But the nights get late and I'm not as young as I used to be.  So there is always a chance something might sneak by me.  Shallow slots are really the only thing you need to look for.  Everything is good and straight, strong and there should be zero difference in flight from one to another.

Good idea to keep at least one package of replacement blades on hand.  I replace blades quite often.  Even in stainless blades the environment will break them down.  Sharp blades are the key to short heavy blood trails!

Its true!!!!  Every time I changed the blades on the TiCon (very simple task)  I was like, "well index finger, we had a good run"!  :chuckle:

All fly well with Blazer sized vanes. LPS and LPV heads actually fly well with Mini Blazers and MaxHunter Pro.  As with any head good FOC and a reasonable offset or helical will improve flight consistency.  The LPS and LPV heads have absolute minimal drag and planning surfaces.  You would have to go to an expandable to find less surface area in a three blade head.  About the only way to make the LPS blade more aerodynamic and remain legal to hunt with would be to reduce the blade thickness.  That and going stainless is the only area where we made a comprise between performance and sales.  All LPS, LPV and HPV blades are .030" AEBL stainless.

Del called me and asked the spelling of your last name so he could post a picture on his Facebook page.  I told him I thought it was spelled L-O-O-P :chuckle:

What's the best way to store assembled heads and/or blades in the off season?
