Blazer Tests
Recently, our pal Dnk sent me enough 2" Blazers to do up 6 2/3 arrows, lol. I was curious about the difference in accuracy between them and 4" Duravanes. First off, I re-sighted my Phoenix so I could use the crosshair at 30 yds. The targets are right at 1" diameter. Here's what I got:

RE: Blazer Tests
Dan,
Your accuracy is terrible. I think you need to get out and practice some more. you didn't hit one of those dead center
Seriously though, that is some good shooting at 30 yards. Even the slick trick was right in there
Have a Happy Thanks giving Everybody.

Dan, you have to be the first one that hasn't liked the accuracy of the Blazers. What offset did you use?

Oh, No!! The "line fairy" is working holidays!!
Randy: I'll consider the source and file that comment appropriatly!![sp]
Btw: Didn't weigh the shafts, so those 6 arrows range from 395 gr to 418 gr. which is not my preferred method of testing, but makes these lil buggers all the more intriguing!!

RE: Blazer Tests
Randy: Guess I'm "atypical". I always listen, especially to people as knowledgable as you are. I just don't always agree, lol. Hope you have a great hunt!!
Just ordered 300 Blazers, same tasteful colours [Canuck for color] as my buddy Don sent me. Got lots of arrows to play with. I screwed up a dozen or so gluing the vanes on.[4", 1st try]I like the super glue, but w/ Arizona EZ you have to slide a cap over the ends of the arms to align the ends. My problem was twofold, lol. Couldn't get the gel type to come out and play, and the regular super glue was too quick for me. Found some new type [to me] at Mal-Wart that has extra initial set time, seems to be real good stuff. I found I can put some on the vane and then use the neck of the spout to evenly spread it down the length for what appears a perfect amount of glue. My EZ is right hand helical, I think 6 degrees. These lil buggers just boggle my mind! Can't wait to go to the rifle range in Natl Forest [one every 10-20 miles here] and try some longer range tests. May even go so far as to put a decent target type scope on the Phoenix, the V-zone sucks for target work.
I have a bunch of 4" duravanes free to whoever is using them, pm me an addy and I'll mail them off, found a new love, lol.
