    I wish they would make vanes in a turkey feather pattern. I've tiger striped blazers now. Do these come in any other pattern.

    Ben as you know, so we'll share with others.

    Ben and I checked and I believe the profile difference is because of the cupped bases. When compressed or on the arrow the profiles will be equal to Blazers and I don't believe higher.

    I just fletched up 1/2 dozen tonight and plan on "test driving" them tomrrow after work. Overall I'm a big fan. I rubbed my Onestringer wraps down with rubbing alcohol first, used Pine Ridge instant arrow glue, and these vanes are really stuck on there good. :tu:

    Can't wait for a review guys. I've been wanting to do a vane upgrade for awhile now.

    Something interesting. Although the Fusion vanes weigh in at 8 grains per the digital scale, 3 of them actually weigh in at 22 gains making them more like 7.333333 grains each rather than 8. Blazers are still 6 grains each, 3 at 18 grains.

    I just got in some 2" Vantecs so I'll post up some info here as soon as I play.
