You may be late but I am still reading so please keep the info coming -- I am new to this stuff and want to learn as much as possible. Anywho. I only have like 3 or 4 arrows left and am ordering a new dozen of the same arrows (gold tip 7595). I want to stay with the blazers because of their durability but my question is this: I use a hostage pro arrow rest so can I get the new arrows fletched with a 4 degree offset and still get arrow clearance with that rest? I don't want to change arrow rests cause I just changed to this one and its working fine. Kind of would like to stay with the blazers because I have a palethera of them.

Yes.
I think a large part of your problem is trying to stabilize broadheads with straight fletch. I'm a bit late to this thread but it looks like you've been getting some good advise.

So when I get these new should I get them fletched with a 4deg. offset to help my broadheads fly better?

Is 7595 the right spine shaft for your setup? (W.A.G. that you're over 65# and over 28" with your 100 grain head?)

Doesn't sound like you need to change anything but the head, maybe some better (equals more expensive) GT's to reduce the flyers.

I've got to at least partially disagree on this one. If field points and broadheads aren't impacting to the same point there is something out of tune. If the broadhead group itself is impacting to the same spot as the field points but the group size is out of control, then I'd lean toward the heads as the culprit. Sounds as if there may be a little of both going on here.

You could be right. I personally like what a head like a muzzy has to say about how "in tune" a bow is. Other heads though are in different to the need for change and it sounds like that's what he wants to hear. His "bows in tune", gotta take his word for it.

I thought the Blazers were meant to stabalize the arrow better in flight?
Also...Check your axle to axle and brace. See if your bow is in 'spec'. Then check your tiller...make sure that is equal.
If all that is a-okay! Then You center shot is NOT perfect! Listen too these guys. You have to move your rest in small increments. Mark your rest and try it - You will see the effect of the movements.
One other thing you could try is a weaker spine arrow. 7595's are .300 spine....pretty stiff for 68#.

I am dead on with field points but my broadhead are around 6in low and left and not even in a good group.

I used to shoot muzzys and loved them, but I had a similar problem once I switched to carbons. Rather than making adjustments between practice and hunting, I switched to a mechanical.
TheGrim Reapers have some similarities with muzzys, like the trocar (bone crushing) tip, only the Reapers have razors in the tip as well for added penetration, and I can assure you, they fly IDENTICAL tobullet points.
Good luck!

It's possible for a bow to be in tune, and still have flight problems with fixed blades. Fixed blade broadheads often do not fly like bullet points.... if that is what you're looking for, go to mechanicals.
