BLAZER Vanes

Has anyone tried the blazers on their bolts? If so, are they accurate?

I'm wanting to try them to, I'm concerned over the overall weight though. I'm shooting GT II's w/100 grain tips for a total of @370 grains. Would the Blazers drop the overall weight down below the 350 grain minimum recommended arrow weight.

I dont think they would lower the weight that much. Im also shooting the GT Laser II's. Ive just bought some more and are having some blazers on them.

I switched to 2215's this year and fletched them with the 2" Blazers. Accuracy is still great! With the GoldTips you will be very close to the minimum weight with the Blazers. I don't have the exact specs handy, but the Blazers weigh about 5 grains each. I believe regular 5" vanes are around 12-15 grains each? You'd be reducing the weight by 20 to 30 grains. One option would be to increase broadhed weight by 25 grains. You'd still be close to the same total weight, plus you'd increase FOC.

Thanks Wabi, that exactly what I was thinking of doing.

I have made up several dozen for customers and they love them .
they realy stabilize large heads for great flight and accuracy. As stated there is a weight problem ( light ) If you are useing alum. inserts use 125 grain heads, if you are useing the heavy brass colord inserts 100 grain heads are fine . they are much better than the QUICK SPINS and much quieter , GREYWOLF

I have traied them and they work very well also with broadheads (Wasp Boss SST).

If i added some wraps, would that change the weight?
About how much do them brass inserts cost?

Could someone tell me the exact weight of the bolt with the
2 inch blazers, and a 100 grain broadhead with aluminum inserts?
