hutchies Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I highly doubt you will see much benefit. I've fletched blazers in offset, hard helical, 1 degree helical and about everything in between. Haven't seen much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykole Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I need opinions since this is on the subject of Blazers... Do you think the Blazers or the Quick Spins are better? Or maybe which would be better for my setup? I am only shooting about 42# right now, so I need as much help with speed and travel as I can get until I can get more strength built up to draw more weight.

m gardner Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 You are shooting plenty of poundage for deer hunting @ 42 pounds. You need to limit yourself to about a 35 yard shot and use a cut on contact broadhead and you'll be fine. Yes the Blazers are best. My wife shoots them out of her 40 pound Parker "Ladies Bow". She shoots Gold Tip 3555's with Blazers and 125 grain G-5 Montec broadheads. My buddy in Colorado has his wife and daughters shoot 40 pound bows for elk and limits shots to 20 yards. They use the montecs too. If you or someone you know isn't gifted at sharpening steel you may want to use the G-5 Strikers with the replaceable blades. God bless and good luck.

Turkeygirl Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I fletch my Blazers so they are laying flush on the arrow, which is maybe barely 1 degree offset...just barely...and I shoot a whisker bisquit, so you don't want much of a helical with that type of rest I don't think...

GDuck Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Im new here, but I started using blazers last year, and fletched my own with a straight fletch. I had problems with arrows drifting at longer yardages. I went to the offset with the blazers, and that helped. Again it could be my tuning, but I think it helped.

LifeNRA Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I use them with a helical. At first, I thought maybe I wasn't having any better accuracy. Then I started shooting them side-by-side with straight fletch. I was shooting better with the helical. I also use the WB rest. Fletching a Blazer with a helical does make the back end of the vane keel slightly from the front. This I believe makes the arrow spin more. Anyways, I changed all four dozen shafts now with a helical. As far as using the WB rest with Blazers fletched helical, there is not enough contact with the bristles to make any noticeable speed loss.

joeaveragehunter Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have always heard that the more helical the better, but dont know about with that rest. Blazers are preferred by just about every pro shop I go into to. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 im using just straight fletch on my blazers. that seems to get the best accuracy for my setup. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
