I put them on my wifes arrows last year. They actually did a great job steering her arrows with Muzzys. If you have ever shot Muzzys you will know that it is no small task to get them to fly right.
I was impressed. Most people who have shot them, like them. The only problem I had was getting them to stick.

super glue gel???noooooooo.dont use that chit.it will get brittle and youre fletchings will start just falling off when you shoot.when using blazers,you need to first clean them with alcohol and then wipe with water.(donot touch bottom of vane after cleaning)and use alcohol not acetone because acitone acts in reverse with glue and will not stick.then clean youre shaft in the same manner.if using carbons i will use steel wool to roughn up fletching area and then clean.after this is done use goat tuff glue.this in my oppinion is supperior to any other glues out there.bonds instantly and u will tear or stretch youre fletching before you will ever pull them off..

I've been shooting muzzy's for about five years, 3-blade 100's. Never had a problem with them shooting good, always shot great. Put the Blazers on this year and flew even better. I was very impressed.

hey drop horn the crest wraps work great,i put them on my arrows fr the first time this year and i really like them.personalizes youre arrows and the fletching bond is superbbbbb.clean youre arrow in the manner i descr.and wrap the wrap around the shaft and then just wipe the wrap with a warm damp clothe to clean all the grease and film off.the bond is awsome.just a little info on alot of these new quick set glues,they pretty much from what i understand alll interacts with water ,which means water activates the bond for an ultimate bond.leave youre cresting or arrow alittle damp or even wet and apply the vane with goat tuff,,cause that is my favoriteeeeeee.just another heads up,,some fletches dont need cleaning like duravanes.but the blazers do cause they have a clear shiney film on them that has to be removed.....good luck.

I've used blazer vanes for a while and found them to be great. They won't wrinkle like Duravanes and they seem to take a beating and come back for more.
As far as glue goes, I would have to disagree about the super glue. Do some searches on archerytalk.com and you will see than many, many top flight archers use it and love it. Get the cheap stuff at Wally World for like a buck. I've used it now for a while and never had any problems. If you clean the shaft well first, you'll need pliers to ever get teh vane off. Goat Tuff is also great glue, just a lot more expensive.

I've been using Blazer Vanes since April and they fly great with the field points and my broadheads. I'm sold on them. i also use AAE fastset gel for bonding the vanes to my arrows, some people i know swear by Goat Tuff glue also, but i've had great results with the fastset gel.

Just a hint on the Blazers shiny removal. That shiny stuff happens to be the factory installed primer on the bonding surface installed by Bohning. They recommend that you don't wipe the vanes with any cleaner. They also recommend that you use a product like Simple Green or The Works and a green scotch brite pad to scuff the bonding surface. I also follow these procedures to bond my Blazer vanes. the first box i bought, the vanes wouldn't bond. So i contacted Bohninh and they helped me out. Seems they had a batch escape from the plant with out the primer in stalled. They replaced my box and wow what a difference!!!
