Howdy all. Was wondering if anyone has tried Blazers on 20" bolts. I was curious how they flew. Thanks.

Hey there!..welcome  Nope, I haven't personally but I would suggest that (provided the receiver is deep enough) they would work fine based on their mass index. Good question...I'd like to see some follow up on this one myself. |

Thanks for the reply. I use them on my Gold Tips for my PSE Brute and like them I'm not sure how well they will work with the shorter bolt. I may have to clip the cock feather a little so it won't make contact with the "barrel".

With a shorter projectile, I would assume (I hate doing it but I am gonna say assume ;D ) they world work as well, albeit the proportions are very different.

If you do end up modifying them....maybe you could snap a pic to show some of our other crossbow guys what you had to do?. That would be great |

Most crossbow people that use blazers use 4 or 8 degrees of helix and increase the FOC.
Right now I shoot 4 inch straight vanes but plan to try 2 inch blazers this spring. I shoot excal and expect no problems with depth or width of the groove in the rail.

The 2" Blazer is a very popular fletching with the Excalibur shooters. I just changed my arrows over from the 5" Duravane to the 2" Blazer but I have not had a chance to shoot them yet. When it warms up some I will get them to the range. I fletch all my arrows with a 4 degree right offset. Even the 5" Duravanes. I have found that the spinning the offset creates stabilizes the arrow much better. Think of a football. Originally my arrows came with a straight fletched Duravane (0 degrees) by re fletching with the 4 degree offset I tightened my broad head groups significantly. Especially at longer distances. At 40 yards off of a monopod I have put consecutive arrows in the same hole. When I am really on "my game" and do my part.  Just something to consider when you go to buy your clamp. The Excalibur forum is another great forum. There is a wealth of crossbow information and it is filled with terrific people that are willing to share their knowledge. Just like here  www.excaliburcrossbow.com/phpBB2/index.phpHere is the link: Bob |

Howdy Bob. Are you using a straight clamp or a right helical clamp for the blazers. Thanks for the tips.
