Been using them for a coupe years now. Once on the shaft - that's it, takes a cutter to get them off. [unless you let a certain brother fletch a few for you]

They control my Razorcaps, my Amrcn Brdhds, my Montecs, and my Slicktricks really, really well.

Although I've heard good things about the new Vane Tecs also.

how much better than other vanes are they? They seem like a really good idea

They are way more durable than any other vane I have seen. I watched a buddy shoot his arrow through heavy 1/2" felt that we have at the range for target backing. Any other vane i have ever used would have been trashed but the blazers didn't even have a wrinkle!!! they had scuff marks on the vanes but were still perfectly straight. I use the mini blazers on my target arrows and they group very well at high speed.

Thanks Chris. Might get some. Pretty high reviews from some pretty good archers :)

I also use the mini Blazers for target and 3-D and the 2" regular Blazers for hunting and they work great!!:smile:

Has anyone encountered problems with shooting broadheads with these vanes?

I know they are ment for broadheads but I have had better success with helical fletching in a longer vane

I wasn't thrilled with my groups using the 2" blazers with broadheads, but to be honest I didn't really try to tune for them as I decided to go another direction with the type of hunting arrow I wanted. i was shooting the blazers on a light, very fast arrow and decided to go with a heavy slow arrow instead.

I had trouble getting my blazers to stick at first. i had to clean a lot better then using duravanes.

Have a dz arrows made up for 3-D but all their hype about not having to clean the base of the vane, ya right, I used their arrow wrap, their new high tec glue and their 2" blazer, I'd shoot a round and lose about 3 - 4 vanes, cleaned the base of some new ones with isopropl 99% then they stuck, I get good luck with Duravanes and I can also shoot my American Broadheads with 3" Dura vanes no problem. { 295 fps } I weighted the 2" blaxer and the 3" dura vane and they weight about the same, the blazes is a higher profile { less rest clearance } than a 3" dura thats why you can get broadheads to fly like I can with 3" dura vanes, but overall a pretty good vane.In the years I've made arrows any vane will work as long as it's glued right and the bow is tune properly a broadhead will fly true.
Just my $0.5 worth.
