I am fletchhing up some 22 inch power bolt shafts for My Equinox and want to try some blaser vanes I shoot a 175 grain slick trick head and the shop I bought from thought a 4 inch Norway vanes would offer better groups so I got some of those but I also bought some blasers to experiment with.
I have 3 questions
#1 do I off set the blasers like a normal vanes ? I here they have some kind of leading edge technology but am not sure what that means.
#2 Do you think the 2 inch blasers will get the job done on the heavy fixed blade head.
# 3 How are the Norway vanes they seam very supple / soft

Re: blazer viens question
Offset your Blazer vanes as you do any vane. The more off-set the more accuracy. But you loose a tiny bit of speed when you increase off-set.gerald strine wrote:I am fletchhing up some 22 inch power bolt shafts for My Equinox and want to try some blaser veins I shoot a 175 grain slick trick head and the shop I bought from thought a 4 inch Norway vein would offer better groups so I got some of those but I also bought some blasers to experiment with.

Heavier broadheads increase FOC and give better guidance so you won't need much off-set unless you use lower weights of broadheads.
The technology is the fact that they use a more abrupt leading edge and a textured vane for air resistance. It's the same principle as using more off-set.
The 2" Blazer will get the job done but largely unnecessary because of the amount of FOC you are creating with a 175 broadhead. That is assuming everything else is right about your bow and arrows.
Use the 2" Blazers with lots of off-set. It will give you the option of using a lighter broadhead later.
Consider the Arizona E-Z Fletcher Bolt to fletch your arrows.

Re: blazer viens question
Boo what is your take on the Arizona Bolt Fletcher. Have you tried it with Rayzer feathers. Thank You in advance. Russ
Re: blazer viens question
I've never been happy using feathers with any Arizona. I've only ever used a Bitz with Rayzers. But I liked Rayzers enough to give them away. Feathers require care that I'm not prepared to give.Retired05 wrote:Boo what is your take on the Arizona Bolt Fletcher. Have you tried it with Rayzer feathers. Thank You in advance. Russ

A good friend of mine got me one, and it is a great fletching jig
I have a jo-jan and bohning pro jig, they don't get used any more
Re: blazer viens question
I fletched my Blazers with an offset & helical.They worked great at helping my Muzzy 125 fixed blades fly right.

Re: blazer viens question
Cant comment on the feathers in this but... The Arizona E-Z fleth Bolt is one super easy fletching jig! Mine has worked first time every time. And in just a few minutes its all done not just one vane. Fast ,easy and does a really nice job. I couldnt be happier.Retired05 wrote:Boo what is your take on the Arizona Bolt Fletcher.

Re: blazer viens question
I have bench rested my best groups ever w/ AZ-EZ in rt hand helical [on advice from Danny] 2" Blazers, GT's w/ brass inserts, and 100 gr points. Avg 5 shot group at 50 yds, 1 3/8" We always have some cross wind here.
"Eze 18:21"
Re: blazer viens question
x2 on that blazer accuracy all my best benched groups with field points and broadheads (blazers and brass inserts )
