    Bohning the maker of Blazers recommends that you offset them...

    might want to take a look at the vane tec vanes they make a 3" that I like on my .340 spined GT's and I have them offset right 3 degrees. I shade longer vane will help stablize better at a tad longer ranges.

    I use an Arizona ez fletch right helical for my arrows. I am shooting 2" blazers and have great accuracy, I just Robin Hooded one arrow into another last week at 25 yds. (Looks cool on my wall, but it cost $20.00 in arrows)

    You will find that 1.5° works the best for straight offset....any more offset then that you will lose downrange speed without any better control.

    The Bohning Helix jig with 3° Helical controls the best without any more downrange speed loss then 1.5° offset.

    You will want to offset them as much as you can and still get good arrow contact with the base of the fletch. The more you can get the better off you will be. More offset = more drag = more arrow stability.
