What do you think about blazers verses standard 4inch. Is the accuracy about the same, if not what distance do you notice a difference at?

I have found that blazers works great when your bow is well tuned and conditions are perfect. However, I really like the forgiveness that quick spin 4" vanes give you all season long. If your bow gets slightly out of tune during the season, they can keep you shooting straight.

Agreed, forgiveness is highly under rated.

I love the 2 inch Blazers espesically at longer ranges they really help stabilize your broadhead by spinning the arrow faster :D I had the 4 inch quickspin vanes and although they flue good they weren;t as stiff and seemed to get more beat up than the blazers

I've been thinking about the blazers, but currently have about 20 arrows with 4 inch vanes, so it will be a while till I give them a shot. I have no complaints on my current vanes.

I know the quick spins aren't to be shot out of biscuits, but I've had good results w/ field tips and blazers. Don't trust them w/ fixed blade b/h's though.

I shoot and fletch a lot..so for what its worth.
I began with feathers (4 and 5 inch) and then began to experiment with plastics due to the noise (in my opinion) of feathers.
I then shot just about every 3 and 4 inch plastic vane out there, even the quick fletch ones that you stick in hot water. They flew much better and quieter than feathers. Then this wonderful new invention of 2" blazers came to my knowledge and I've been in heaven ever since. I think it is more the stiffness, rather than the length, of the blazers that give a much "tighter" flight. They fly true for me out to 50 yards, which is all the further I care to shoot for target. I have never taken game at this distance and don't intend to in my area. Is it nice to know that my equipment and I can handle 50 yard shots? Of course it is.
2" blazers for the win.

I hear a different story/opinion for every bow set up. I would just try some and see how it works with your set up well before the season opens.

Yeah, I think every setup is different, so I've not been able to compare them "apples to apples" with my various setups. Blazers have never shot well for my setups, but I found a different make of 2-inch vanes that shoot really well for me....I honestly don't recall the name...found them from an eBay store that sells lots of fletching products

I like Blazers,shot them for years,one day turkey hunting,high 80's and basically decided a few cocktails might be smarter sitting in a blind wearing all black :wink:,my girl and I shot all our different vane and broadhead combos in a 30mph direct crosswind. I was surprised to see my 4in vanes out perform all the rest in those conditions. That was my bow,which shoots BH's and FT's the same. Makes sense,more surface area to grab a draft. All variables considered,shoot your bow under extreme conditions and gauge your results on personal performance with that bow and go with what you like.
