Okay, so the article by Chuck regarding aluminum arrows has me thinking. First, he is one of the voices I pay attention to...his record is second to none. Secondly, I'll admit that I just don't shoot my carbons to the same level of accuracy as back in the day when I was shooting Easton XX78 2314's. That being said, what do you aluminum guys fletch with? What newer age fletching is considered top notch and have you ever tried Blazers with aluminum? Thanks for the replies.

I am currently using blazers with 2213 aluminums and they work very well. I normally use feathers and will most likely go back to them. However if I were to decide to use vanes again it would probably be the blazers. I have not tried quick spins yet though.

The blazers shoot very much like my feathers do as far as control. I fletch both with a Arizon Easy fletcher with a some offset.

I was wondering if there is really that much or a difference between XX75's and XX78's?

Why not?

Good and fair question...not sure I can attribute it all to the arrrows. I used to shoot a new dozen 2314s into the same hole...but then I had 20-year-old eyes and now have 40-year-old ones. Slower, heavier arrows did seem easier to shoot though.

That's cool. Just thought I would ask.

Still shootin 2314s, have been for 20yrs. I have never seen the need to shoot carbons. And I still shoot my 5" vanes, could go smaller but I haven't seen the need to change that either. Been OK with old school for a long time now. I will leave all the new fangled stuff to the kids.
