All the talk about Fusions peaked my interest, and not being able to leave well enough alone, I purchase some along with 12 GTs and let er rip. Here are my immediate reactions: 1)The Fusion has a lower profile (by .102", which may be of interest for those whose Blazers are scraping bottom in your crossbow. 2)The base of the Fusion is .009" wider, for what that's worth, but also not as stiff as a Blazer's 3)Had more problems getting the Fusion to glue on, maybe because my aging eyes had a harder time picking up the glue line on the transparent base. (Using Gorilla cyanoacrelate glue). 4)Fusion have more surface area, causing my arrow to hit about 3/4" lower at 30 yards that Blazer. This was apparent when using identical arrow and Blazered Firebolts that weigh the same. 5)Fusion were no more accurate than Blazers, in fact slightly less so. To be fair,the wind is gusting somewhat today and, while I tried to shoot between gust, it may have been a factor. I still have a a passthough test to run to determine which stands up better but the rising temp is making it less fun to shoot today.
Immediate reaction: While they have looks and new going for them,IMO there is no reason to change from Blazers to Fusion if you Blazers are performing now.

I found that Predators stand up much better than Blazers on a target pass through. I had a pass through on a deer that broke a rib on exit and sliced the vane but it was still firmly attached to the arrow. Accuracy is about the same as Blazers. I hunt with Predators. Ghost

The new Blazers with the logo are the best vanes to date IMHO....The Fusions are ok...but not ok enough to switch. I just tested a batch.

Have not tried the logo kind but definitely agree that's it's tough to improve perfection.
