BLAZER VANES
First - HELLO GUYS ! First post of the year for me. I hope to see all the regs on hear this season...
I am considering using Blazer vanes by Bohning.... I usually use a 5" vane- all white with a slight helical.... my local archery pro is telling me 'Every one is using these Blazers"
So - do they REALLY work well with broadheads ?? I just dont see how a 2" vane can stand up to a 5" vane..... I am also worried about seeing them - I can see my 5" vanes great...

RE: BLAZER VANES
I had 3 arrows fletched with the 2" Blazers on a Carbon Express select 400 shaft to try them out. I shot field points first, and marked each arrow when I pulled them out. I then swapped to broadheads and shot all three. They grouped real close to the marks I had for the field tips. the group was nice and fairly tight, and I think I am the cause of them not being tighter. But getting back on tract, I kept shooting andwas so impressed that I tookall of my arrows and had them refletched with Blazers. They work great, and they are the best vains I have put through my Whisker Biscuit. I have not had any vains messed up or torn off.
I would have them fletched offset or with a slight right helical. What I have seen so far the offset fly's great,( have been shooting them for about 2 years )and I am about to try the right helicals. I have 13 arrows being refletched right helical. I'll pick them up today.
BTW - I am shooting 100 gr. Muzzy 3 blade.
Good Hunting

RE: BLAZER VANES
I bought some blazers and had my shop refletch 3 arrows. Came home shot them with 3 blade muzzy's and after the first 3 shots from 25 yds. I had to take 2 of the arrows back to be re-fleched... yet um right off the groups were so tight. when I took those to back I took him all of my arrows and had them done.

RE: BLAZER VANES
The blazers have a slightly higher profile than other vanes. Also they are quite a bit more stiff as well. Those two things createmore resistance during arrow flight. therefore, making your arrows more stable which leads to better grouping.

RE: BLAZER VANES
I bought the shrink fletchings with the blazers on them to try em out. I did the same thing as everyone else. Tried it on three arrows and after comming back from the range the rest of the arrows got the same thing. I use a WB and these are the best thing I have used to date.
