So whats everybody using?, size, feathers, Blazers, quickspin ST. I'm looking at swapping from 5" shield cut feathers to Vanes, whats best for fixes blade broadheads?
I've used blazers and Quickspins. I'm honestly on the fence about what I'll use this year. Straight fletched Blazers have been my go to. If I can tune the bow to shoot a straight fletch blazer with a fixed blade broadhead, the tune is dead on. They've proven to hit their mark every time. That being said I do shoot a mechanical but, I also tune with a fixed blade.
Ive been using 2" blazers for as long as i can remember, then end of last season if started to go with the quickflech but with also the 2" blazers.
Hi Steve, my main concern is the noise from my 5" feathers when I shoot them from my Mathews, really noisey. I want to give myself the best chance at an Elk this Fall and I've seen Elk react quick to arrow sound. Im not gonna be able to hunt after this year till at least 2017, so I wanna go out with a bang. Would a change to 4" Parabolic cut make a difference to spine and noise
Best broadhead flight for me is Trueflight 4" feathers, Bitz, helical, RW. But feathers do have some minoe issues. Best vane IMO Flex-Fletch FFP-360 (Bitz, RW helical). I just ordered some SK-300 to fletch 6 arrows to give them a "real try". I did 2 arrows a while back and so far I like them. But it will take me months to decide if they are better that the FFP-360. They will be hard to beat. I am hard to change.
I've tried most. Blazers fletched with my Az EZ fletch mini give me the best flight for fixed broadheads. I was always a feather fan until I finally tried the Blazers with the helical the Az mini puts on them.
Just pick up some AAE 2.1" Fusion Vanes, haven't fletched them yet though, will get around to it this week. I hear great things so figured I'd give them a shot.
