View Full Version : Blazer or quickspin
texasbow 05-02-2006, 10:55 PM I have just started fletching my own arrows and have had great success with the quickspin however they tend rip off, like its not getting a good stick, So i was wondering if the hype about the Blazer were truly as good as it seems?
BUNNYMAN 05-03-2006, 05:53 AM I really like the both fletchings. I currently have arrows fletched up several different ways, w/several different fletchings. Today I am going to try Blazers w/my Muzzys (100gr, 4 blade and see how they shoot). On my line jammer 3-d arrows I have them fletched w/ 1&1/2 inch Quikspins and they fly great.
BowhuntnHoosier 05-03-2006, 06:40 AM I have been using blazers since January and they are really holding strong. I shoot with a WB rest :rockon: and none of my vanes have came off or even started to peel away. And I usually shoot about 500 shots a week. Good luck and I think you will like blazers alot.:peace:
3dhunter 05-03-2006, 10:14 AM My first question would be: What type of arrows are you flectching, and how are you doing it. Second: What do you mean they rip off; during flight, from your rest, hitting them while they are in the target or passing thru a target?
texasbow 05-03-2006, 03:27 PM I am using carbon arrows, the Bohning Archery Fletch-Tite Platinum, and the Arizona ez Fletch tool...i dont thing that the rest is causing any damage to them (Whisker Biscuit). The glue might not be getting a good stick......Also i have fletched a few dozen arrows with feathers and dura vanes and they hold up great its just these quickspins wont stay on the shaft.
BowTech81 05-03-2006, 05:31 PM Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think that you were supposed to use quickspins through a wisker biscuit?!?!:noidea:
texasbow 05-03-2006, 08:34 PM well if thats the case there lies my problem......can you shoot blazer through a whisker buscuit?
:doh:
BUNNYMAN 05-03-2006, 09:00 PM I think the kicker is what is causing these to rip off:doh:
texasbow 05-03-2006, 09:03 PM OH that makes sence, thanks a million,
rrussell 05-03-2006, 09:06 PM the WB is your prob:tape: jk i have not heard anything about there being a problem with WB and quick spins. i love the 2.25 QS I have they are awesome vanes you can't go wrong:amen:
3dhunter 05-03-2006, 10:36 PM :Cry: I do believe the people are right.
Before I found you were using the QS/WB combo, I was actually wondering if you were preparing the carbons/aluminum correctly. If not, this will also allow them to "rip" off. I am assuming you are putting a drop of glue on the front and back of the quills.
BowhuntnHoosier 05-04-2006, 06:16 AM Referring to Post #3 Blazers and the WB rest are like peanut butter and jelly.:rockon: They are a great combination. As for quickspins and the WB I do not have any experience with those vanes so I am not sure if that could be the problem.:noidea:
BUNNYMAN 05-04-2006, 06:49 AM But frank I like peanut butter and bannanas, and I like my jelly w/cream cheese, so what you are saying is the WB and blazers wont work for me????:noidea: :Cry:
BowhuntnHoosier 05-04-2006, 07:09 AM I am saying PB&J is where it is at. You my friend may need to just start shooting from off the shelf.:laugh: That would have to be better than that drop away thing you use. As for jelly and cream cheese thats just nasty. PB and bananas is ok though. :peace:
texasbow 05-04-2006, 11:21 AM i fletched the quickspins the same way i fletched the feathers and duravanes, with the same glue and same preparations onto the carbon arrows.....and on a seperate not i ordered some blazers last nigh and cant wait to shoot em'
BUNNYMAN 05-04-2006, 07:53 PM Hey Frank, now have you ever tried cream cheese and jelly?? Dont knock it till you try it. Trust me it really is good.
Texasbow, I have a feeling you are really going to like the blazers.:biggrin1:
BowhuntnHoosier 05-04-2006, 10:04 PM I agree you are going to love blazers texasbow. :rockon: Keep us informed on how it is going. Ok Adam I will not know your cream cheese and jelly anymore.:hug:
