Runnin blazer vanes and was expierenceing w/ 4 vanes noticed better arrow flight even with muzzy 3 blades at 20 yards. Was wondering if anyone else has expieremented with 4 fletches and your results.
-
My broadheads and field points fly the same and more true with four vs three. Different bows and setups may yield different results. :twocents:

Thanks for the reply. I noticed the same results too. Im shooting the same set up as last year (easton st excel, muzzy 100gr 3 blade, at 60lb) with the exception of useing 4 fletch and they flew better than the 3 vanes.minimal tuneing required and out to 40yards fp and bh was hitting same spot, never had that before. At 60 was hitting money even with a slight breeze.

4 fletch will dial you in better for sure. The only real downside is that it will slow your arrow slightly due to more resistance. The upsides far outweigh the downsides . :twocents:
Used to be a bit difficult to find places to do four fletch. Does not seem to be the case now though.
-
i know im chimming in a little late i also switched to 4 fletch much better choice especialy with my 4 blade slick trick won't go back to 3 fletch
-
I'm shooting 4 vane blazers and getting very tight groups at all distances.
-
I'd like to see a comparison between a straight fletch 4 compared to a helical 3. I use a small diameter carbon arrow, and the Bitz jig would not allow me to put 4 blazer helicals (in fact it didn't do that well with 3 helicals...ended up looking more like a slight offset). Get better helical fletch from either Bohning, or Arizona but only have the option of 3 helical fletchings. The real question would be would I get better flight from a 4 vane straight (or slight offset) or from a 3 vane 3 degree helix.
-
4 fletch all the way for me. There is a big gain when shooting 4 fletch with those big fat heads!
-
I'm shooting 4 fletch full helical blazers through a WB .... my broadheads (slick tricks) shoot just like my field points.
-
You guys that are shooting 4 fletch, what type of rest are you using?
-
I shoot a trophy ridge revolution :tup:
-
I kinda want to give this a try...
-
:yeah:
-
3......... :tup:
-
I'm using a Trophy Taker Pronghorn.

Well used the 4 fletch blazer and wow big differance ive seen. Couldnt get my muzzy 3 blades fly well useing the 3 fletch tried everything but went to 4 fletch well worth it! Sorry for getting back late was buisy doing some other things. Even with my qad they fly good.
-
Good another convert!!! Another think you will love is not having to worrry about cock vane up or out. Just snap it on and let it rip. A lot of the times after my first shot. When I am putting another arrow on I don't even look down. That way I can keep my eyes on the animal.
-
Do you get and fletching contact with your QAD?
-
I belive so just minor which i might have to switch out the rest or get some something to put on my fletching to make sure.
-
Shot with four blazers for a few years but switched back to three 4" vanes because I was getting flight.
