The only thing I found about them with fixed blade broadheads is they limit you to using smaller diameter heads, less than 1 1/8". But, since that's what most guys use anyway...

So, my 1-3/16 inch muzzy 3 blades are too big?
You know , they should give you a 5 minute grace period on editing a post for spelling errors before it says "message edited by.." and making youlook like a tard!

He may be refering to the much bigger heads (more than 1/16th" difference)...

I didn't have any 1 3/16"dia broadheads to try when I was testing the Blazers, but arrow flight with1 1/2" Magnus heads got pretty squirrely.

I wouldn't doubt that a bit! Heads that big I'd save for a nice heavy slow moving shaft from my recurve.
Heck, I knew I was pushing the envelope trying those big heads with itty bitty vanes, but had to try it. Anyway, all I am saying about the testing I did with Blazers is that my best results came with broadheads that were 1 1/8" dia or less. Arrow flight and accuracy were unacceptable with broadheads that were 1 1/4" and up.
Can somebody get the bigger heads to fly with Blazers? It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe somebody else wouldn't quite as picky about arrow flight and accuracy as I am. I'm comfortable saying they do okay for heads 1 1/8" dia or less, or mechs of course, because that's where I hit the limit in my testing.
One very important point to remember... The results I got were obtained with me standing on a shooting lane in perfect shooting conditions, not sitting in a treestand on a windy day.[&:]

I love the Blazers, haven't found one negative thing about them yet. I went through my bow tackle box a few weeks ago and shot every broadhead I had in there. Really old stuff that I just can't get myself to throw out like, old Bear razorheads, the original Wasp 3 blade that I killed my first deer with in 1983, the first Satalite head etc......all of them flew with my field points at 20 yards.
Even the 1 1/2" ones.
