Not sure if I should say....

This is getting old ...or This can never get old...lol...but it will be the 3rd quick Fletch for this arrow...broke funny...may have had the water to warm...but I'd shot it a few days before this...any how I heard the arrow run down the other shaft...

I'm practicing blind ..sorta speak...I walk in and shoot...not knowing yardage...shooting instinctive I practice that a lot in final weeks...this I ranged after at 28 yrds

I truly love this Mission bow

That's why my target has 12 spots on it now. Robinhooded one a few years ago and was not at all happy about it.

I've had a few over the years...funny thing is..I can't read any thing farther than 4 foot away with out glasses on...but can zero in on a spot on my target as far as 35 yrds and be with in an inch...no glasses..and have great night vision still...I don't get it...Dr says it's because I sight down my arrow aromatically and my eye adjusts to target.....??? what ever works...lol

I see everyone using these short fletchings, what is the difference between them and the longer kind?

[growalot]

From what I under stand...they are suppose to up the speed and stabilize the arrow on the faster shooting bows...personally i think they shoot flatter..but I'm using them with a new bow so it is more than likely the bow it's self...lol

haha, thanks grow

I switched to the smaller blazer vanes because my wisker biscuit would destroy my longer vanes. I like the blazers better.

i was told the blazers are better for faster shooting bows and offer more speed, and the long vanes are more stable and good for low poundages, the bow shop where i take my stuff and my girlfriends, made both our sets of arrows and after wondering why i got the blazers and she got the long vanes we asked and thats what we were told.

The theory is that the Blazer type vanes help stabilize a broadhead tipped arrow quicker. I shoot them for the last few years but I am going back to the traditional style 4in vane now. The Blazer's are a bit too high profile for my liking so I found a vane a little shorter height wise. Not much difference in performance, mostly hype and advertising. I will say that I had more problems getting the Blazer's to stay glued on a Carbon arrow than any vane ever before.

The shape of the vane does not matter honestly provided you have no clearance issues with the rest you use. Speed doesn't matter either when considering what vanes to choose. Its just that Blazer's are currently the cool thing on the market. Feathers are still the best for stabilizing, they are just finicky in wet conditions.

Doey... I switched this year to Blazer vanes and had trouble with them adhering to the arrow - until I put on the 4" wrap beforehand. After that I had no problems what-so-ever.

I also switched to SlickTrick RazorTrick broadheads. Twix the Blazers and the Tricks I'm shooting one pin now out to 30-32 yards.

You can get Blazers in QuickFletch too... just make sure you get the ones made by NAP and not Bohning - HUGE difference in performance!
