I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Have no idea. I have a vane rub on the left side of the groove and a hit mark on the right side of the riser just after the rail. If it ever stops raining I plan to try Predators with the same fletch setup.

I have Blazers on my V-Bow and really like them. Got the stock arrows that came with my Vortex and will give them a try. I have a Arizona EZ Fletch with right helical arms but with since the blazers are so short it puts more of an offset than a helical. Hopefully they will work so I dont have to get another fletcher or set of arms.

Well if the Blazers rub it doesn't affect accuracy one bit. Mine are on high FOC arrows (+18%). They fly very consistently, more so than the 4 and 5" models I tested, which are more affected by crosswind....like 3" at 30 yards in a 20 mph wind.

Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!
