I asked the same question awhile back and everyone that tried them liked them. I have some on the way with the blazer vanes. I will let you know as soon as I have a chance to try them.

I saw Michael Waddell use them, he said on his show that they worked great as a last resort backup. So if you're at deer camp anddon't have the equipment or time to put new fletching on then use these because it's quick and easy.

I have to admit it is a great concept!!

They seem like they would work really good...I haven't ever tried them though.

I am going to add a little glue on the inside before I shrink mine down to help hold them in place. We use alot of H.S. here where I work and it does not slide on the parts we put it on.

i woul check the size of your arrow first, ihave a smaller diamter carbon shaft and the hrink fletch vanes i bought were too big to use on y arrow, even after shrinkin they were easy to slide right off. I just dont think u can beat blazers with wraps, but gluing them on. Easy to do with a simple 20$ fletcher and some arrow glue.
