Traditional 4 inch vanes vs. Blazers

[HoghunterTX]

Alright I have a bombardment of questions on this.
-are blazers able to stabilize a standard arrow like a beman ICS or a carbon express pile driver
-do they really increase arrow speed
-do they have the ability to keep a muzzy 100gr 3 blade stable in flight.

I guess that's not a bombardment but any answers or advice would be great thanks!!!

I just went back to 4" Duravanes, Blazers just didn't impress me.

If your arrow is tuned properly it doesn't take much to stabilize it. Blazers will work great.

I always like the blazers....much more so than the longer vanes.

[bowhuntntxn]

The answer to all of your questions is yes. They can and will be lighter, faster and stabilize your arrow with any broad head as long as your ow is tuned.

Alright thanks guys I appreciate the advice!

I only gained 5 fps using Blazers. I have over 1000 4" vanes so I did not see the point of switching.

So your decision was... scientific

Dunno about the Muzzy but my Thunderheads shoot sweet with them. All I've used for years.

Nope, Just did not see the point in buying something that had no real advantage over something I already own.

I was thinking about switching to 4"

My Blazers have shot great with everything I have ever shot with them. mostly mechanical, but now I shoot Magnus Stinger 2 blade in 100 gr.

I have played with the blazers and mini blazers, and 4 inch , Want be anymore blazers for me.I get better stabilization from the 4 inch ,I shoot fix blade heads, 3- 4 inch vanes gives you 12 inches of stabilization , 2 inch blazers half that much. A side note I dont shoot a biscuit so there is no advantage to me of stiff small vanes ,mine dont get tore up going threw the rest.

Switched back to 4" vanes because I think they fly better imo....but it all may be in my head.

I put some blazers on a few of my arrows and it seemed they had a hard time keeping my arrow stable and my groups spaced out a bit so I think I'll stick with 4inch duravanes. Another plus is 6.99 for 50 duravanes and 13.99 for 20 blazers
Thanks for all the advice y'all

I'm one of those guys that actually tests everything before I draw an assumption.
6 days of testing Blazers against 4" Duravanes, and the Blazers @ 60 yards grouped app. 1 inch tighter.
There are prerequisites though.
Vanes must clear shelf, rest, and cables.
The reasons they perform well:
No deformation at the shot,
Decreases arrow occilation time due to faster rotation due to stiffness and extra heighth.
Increased F.O.C.
Quieter arrow flight.
