hutchies Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I was reading Carolina archery products tuning tips on what vanes to shoot. They said the Bohning vanes seem to work the best with Bohning glue and to use a dab of cement on front and rear of vanes. I am just wondering what length vanes I should shoot. These will only be used for hunting and I am wondering the pro and cons of 4 inch vs. 2 inch long blazers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB The two inch blazers are promoted as a broadhead vane. Meaning they should offer more control when shooting a fixed blade broadhead. I've heard mostly good things about the blazers. Most recommendations say to put the highest amount of helical you can on them and they will work great. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB I guess things have changed. I was always told that the longer vanes had better control for broadheads I know everything has been improved over the years though too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a Blazer vane so I can't comment on it but I don't see how something 2" long will provide better air dynamics and better control over broadhead planing than something twice as long. I'll have to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB too and INB...the Blazers are a shorter vane but they aren't low profile and they are more rigid than the normal vane. I've read a few articles about them and I've noticed an overall trend on other forums of guys going to these over the traditional 4-5 inchers. They would be worth a look-see, though.

buckee Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB Are they too High-profile for the bisquit though ???? Just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Steve, they aren't any higher in profile than a traditional vane, but I haven't heard anything but RAVE reviews on them......I'm torn in testing the Blazer Vanes or testing Barred Feathers...

buckee Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB The reason I ask is that I am thinking of switching vanes this year. I gave the 4" quick-spins a good trial last year and find them a little on the frigile side for the biscuit and a little too high-profile as well. I get great groupings with the quick-spins, but they are just too expensive to be replacing every year. I'm just wondering which is the best way to go from here, with a tried and proven vane in the biscuit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB Steve the best Vane I have found since switching to the WB, are the AAE Elite Plastifletch Vanes, they seem to be very memory resistant and durable, and cost effective when vane damage accures.... Like I said tho I love to experiment so I'm going to try the Blazer Vanes and feathers,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Re: Fletching for WB Check out the Blazer vanes. I have a couple hundred here, along with arrow wraps just waiting to get fletched up sooner or later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
