BLAZERS, although i would like to try FOBs if i get a fall away, so those might be good.

I use the QS st's and think they are brilliant , i put a little offset on them and they very accurate . Fletched straight they are still accurate .

Looks like not to many people shoot the regular 4 inch vanes that come on the arrows anymore.

RE: Help Me Pick New Vanes

I'm a feathers guy myself but I am currently using some blazers on 2213's that weigh around 450 grns. I am pretty impressed with them.

I have tried a lot of different fletchings and if I felt I had to use vanes there is no doubt I would go with the blazers and a slight offset.

The only down side to them is they are pretty stiff so they are not very forgiving at all of contact issues. They do have a smaller profile though. Other than that I can't think of a bad thing to say about them. They stabilize my arrows as well as 5 inch tru flight feathers do with the same amount of offset.

How are the quick spins now. When they first came out i tested the 4" and hated them. Loud, slowed the arrow, and were not durable at all. If they ever touched anything, they wrinkeled. The loud and slowing my arrow was enough for me to never give them a second chance

The same... still LOUD... Slow and not as durable as the Blazers

When I fletch Blazers I put them on with a Helical clamp set with as much offset as I can get and still keep them setting solid on the arrow. It doesn't look like much but it Works!
