just wondering everyones thoughts im trying to build a more consistent arrow, right now im shooting 4inch quickspins and like them but the problem is they slow down my arrow much faster at 40+ yards, any suggestions?
-
I realy like the 2" vanes, There even a test some where that shows the differents the 2" blazer have over other typs of vanes at 50yd's. In the test they shot like 8" higher then the other vanes. I know they shoot a lot flater for me.

2 words BLAZER VANES
-
I would have to agree with Hoytstaffshooter83 I like the Blazers. I shoot Carbon Express Maxima 250 with blazers. I found out they work best for me with my whisker biscuit
-
So how much do they slow down your arrow at 40yds, did you chronograph the loss, Helical fletch or offset? This gets debated a lot, but I have never seen any actual chronographed data. It makes sense that a helical fletch or fletch with more surface area would be slower but how much. I would guess the style of fletch has more effect then the surface area in this comparison. I personally started with offset fletch and went to Helical, and would never go away from Helical for the accuracy gain. Anyone know of some hard data on this?

I'm with Paul. Blazers all the way. They stear a broadhead like no other.
-
Blazers al l the way :IBCOOL:
-
agreed, nothing stears a broadhead better
-
i havent chrono'd my bow at different distances, but about 1 yard out of the bow with regular 4 inch veins my bow shoots about 260-263 with the quickspins it shoots about 249-252, im shooting easton axis 340's by the way so ill build some with the blazers and see how they fly.

Before your sold on the Blazers, I'd try them side by side with the 2" Flex Fletch Flash Vanes.... :twocents:
-
I just got set up to shoot FOB's. The logic seems pretty good and they shoot well so far. I was shooting 4" four fletch on 485 grain arrows with broad heads. Not enough time yet to give a yeah or neah. They will be easier to fix/ replace, that's for sure.
I should be shooting some broadheads with them here shortly. I'll get feedback out right after.

BLAZERS
-
I really like my 4 inch flex fletch vanes and I think I am gonna try out some 2" blazers and 2" flex fletch for a comparison.
-
I shot 4" vanes for years...last year was my first for blazers.
I was a believer! Blazers are a huge improvement...after I switched, so did all my shooting buddies. Not so much for decreased drag, but less wind deflection.
Now, I'm addicted to FOB's.
:)
-
Well I don't even know what a blazer is but apparantly my broadheads do fine. 8)
-
Wow...that is a HUGE difference, and with that much decelaration I can understand. Your arrow would barely be moving at 40yds. Quick Spin would quickly be spun into the garbage. I just shoot AAE 4" with a helical, and Muzzy 3 Blades. Mine shoot very well, so not much in a hurry to change.
-
Anyone have problems with their blazers hitting the cables? Mine do. It doesnt seem to affect the shot, because my groups are ok, but the fletch on all my arrows are stained black from some sort of contact.
-
What bow are you shooting? Blazers would hit my fiber optics (Trophy Ridge 5 pin) as they are low below the sight, but hitting the cables would be pretty hard. You should be able to see where they are hitting on the bow or cables. My first thought would be the rest.
-
I shoot a Jennings Strike. My first thought was the whisker, but if you look down the arrow when knocked, it looks like it hits the cable.
-
Yeah dont shoot them, 2 in is the way to go with most broadheads
-
Blazers....
-
I tried blazer 2inch vanes and didnt like them. i fletch my own arrows and thought the 4 inch vanetecs did a better job with both field tips and broadheads.
-
I will be shooting Blazers this year...
-
I've been using 4 inch flex fletch vanes, does anyone know how the 2" flex fletch flash vanes compare to the blazers?
