RE: Those darn blazers !!!!!
How do you guys turn your knock (or arrow) for shooting the blazers? I havea drop away, so it shouldn't be a problem, but some people said that since they are so tall, they point the cock feather or whatever the hell its called straight up, so the bottom 2 fletchings have more clearance.
Does it make any difference?

Blazers are definitely a PITA to fletch (all bohning vanes are, IME)
I think coming from shooting standard inexpensive vanes like a typical bohning, duravane, aae/easton diamond, you'll notice a positive diff with the blazers. If you have much experience with feathers, the blazer likely will not impress you that much.
Def a cool product though, if my arrows wear vanes this hunting season, it most likely will be Flex Fletch or Blazers.

1/2 my hunting arrows are fletched with Blazers and 1/2 with 4" feathers. After having said that...................the arrow sitting on my rest in Colorado will be the one with feathers.

I shot feathers and they ripped to shreds when I shot them into the grass using a judo point. The feathers also made a 5h!t-load of noise when they brushed against anything.
The Blazersdon't come off of my arrows. In fact, I had a complete pass-through on a wild boar through the shoulders and they still stayed on.
I'll use nothing but Blazers.

RE: Those darn blazers !!!!!
I thought the Blazer hype was a load of doodoo until I put some on this weekend in 4-fletch configuration........HOLY COW!!! They are great!!! Steer at least as good as Quick Spins but they are nearly indestructible......I was intentional shooting the soft spot on my Morrell Yellow Jacket and had the same Blazer fletched arrow pass through at least 8 times and they still look like new (some slight black streaks on one side but other than that, unscathed)....this would have been death to a quickspin........
