Blazer vs aae max hunter

[Idahoarcheryhunter]

I'm sure this has been brought up at some time or another but just curious to see what everybody thinks about the two vanes, I've been shooting Blazers for a while, but a few of the guys I hunt switched to the aae max hunter vanes and say they are a better vane, most are shooting them in a four fletch configuration. Just curious to see what everybody's opinions are on the two vanes!

Unless youre trying to be the next Olympic archer...it's not gonna make that big a difference... Just my two cents

I've tried to leave blazers twice, both time's I've come back to blazers for consistency, durability, and cost.

coincidentally I just watched this youtube video this morning on the blazer. I already use them but this made me want to start fletching them myself at a 3 degree helical angle.

A couple thoughts on these. First keep in mind that the max hunters are slights taller then the Blazers. If your going to change make sure you have the clearance before hand.
Second in regardles to flight, I agree with the above poster that your going to be hard pressed to see a difference in the two. Although I can tell the difference I have heard serial people say that they thought the Sheild cut vanes make more noise in flight.
The material on both the Blazers and Max hunters are both durable and easy to use with basic arrow prep. Both are excellent products.

Another great option, that I actually like better then both the above mentioned vanes are AAE Max stealth vanes. They are the same stiff material as the max hunters. They have a slightly lower profile and longer. I have found them to be, at least to my ears very very quite in flight. They also stabilizer the larger fixed blade broadheads that I prefer very well, especially at longer distances.
AAE makes them and you can also get the exact same vane from Trophy Taker as well.

I've used both and had very good luck with both. I am currently using the Max Hunters applied with helical.

That's a good video that shows why helical is so important for broad heads.

I know some guys shoot broad heads with straight fletch, but they either have 1) absolutely perfect form, 2) don't shoot very long distances, and/or 3) don't shoot in windy conditions. Good helical can help mitigate a less than perfect shot under stressful hunting conditions where form may not be perfect.
