4" feathers. I just keep going back to them. I like the way they look and fly.
Nothing wrong with vanes, blazers, Quick Spins, or any of the others. I just like feathers.

A little help here !!!!!! I know the new thing is Blazers. What I don't know is why they are thought to be an improvement. What do they add? I would appreciate your comments as to the pro/con of Blazers.

eel,
everything listed works well.
just preference.
i like the blazers because with a little right helical they control really well. mostly like them because they are very tough and dont wrinkle.
5 grains a piece for the 2"ers...................slightly higher in profile than most vanes. has some clearance issues with prong style rests................but nothing that cant be tuned out. zero problems with drop away rests. i shoot mine "rooster" vane up.
good luck.......and good hunting.

just wanted to know if anyone has had trouble getting the blazer vanes to stay on arrows good. i just started to shoot them this year and havent had a problem yet. had a guy at a bow shop say that he will never put them on another arrow again cause they dont stick good. then a guy that runs another bow shop that i love going to just loves them, he says that is the fletching that most of his costumers want on there arrows

I cant vouch for aluminums, but I wouldn't think it to be any different. .

BTW ..
I also use the LocTite to glue the Blazer vanes to my white lacquered arrows too.
No problems..

No problem with the Blazer Vanes on Carbon Arrows. Just clean the shaft good with acetone, then I buff a little real easy with fine steelwool, then wipe with clean dry cloth. try not to touch the bottom surface of the Blazer vane. Have been using Bohning Fletch Tite Platinum glue.good stuff!

Ive read several articles on fletching arrows and most say not to use acetone to clean arrow before fletching. Most say to use denatured alcohol because the acetone residue left on the arrow can act upon the glue and soften it and sometimes the vanes will come off.
I used to use acetone myself but switched to alcohol. Since then i cant remember the last time a vane came loose. I use super glue to fletch with. h.h.
