I was just wondering if any of u guys have any experience with Quick spin or the bohning blazer 2" vanes.

Posted

I used to use 1 3/4 inch vanes on my 3D and 900 round arrows cuz they really cut down on wind drift.

i use quik spin, there a little on the heavy side but man do they shoot nice.

I JUST HAD MY ARROWS ALL REVANED WITH BLAZERS, AND I'LL NEVER SHOOT ANYTHING ELSE AGAIN. I PICKED UP 3 TO 5 FPS AND THEY TIGHTENED MY ARROW GROUPS UP. I'M PUTTING ARROW ON TOP OF ARROW WITH EVERY SHOT. BEFORE WITH MY FEATHERS MY GROUPS WERE ABOUT 4" PATTERN. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BLAZER VANES.

I just got into Archery about 7 months ago and I have been playing around with all different types and sizes of vanes. I would say that so far, I like the 2 inch blazers the best. The blazers seem to hold up better under abuse of sliding thru targets and my WB arrow rest. I like the Quick Spins but to be honest, I thought they really slowed down my arrows at distance. I have no proof of this...other than my own observations.

Thanks for the replies guys, i just started shooting quik spins also but out in the 40 to 50 yard range the arrows seem to drop a bit more, but shoot tighter groups with them also. may have to try the blazers also, anymore info would be cool

I always shot 4 inch helical feathers. Just like feathers and the helical is awesome for fixed broadheads. I am a tinkerer so last week I picked up some 2" blazers and put together some arrows. I am very impressed so far even with broadheads. When fletching them I was able to do a real hard off-set and still make great fletch to shaft contact with carbon arrows. This offset may be a problem if you are shooting a wisker-bisket. Im shooting a fall away so no problems. Only shot out to 20 yards but can't shoot same spot groups without damaging arrows so I shoot at multiple small targets.(hint - golf tees stuck in a block type target work great for shooting at. Helps you really consentrait on a spot). Gonna start playing with longer yardages now just for 3-D, 99% of the deer I shoot are 8-15 yards...

I've switched arrows and vanes quite a few times and I always went back to feathers. Since buying and trying out Blazers, I have gone back to feathers BUT I am going to switch back to Blazers! I love them. It took me that final switch to figure out that so far blazers really work that well in all conditions.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing remains strong across the south shore of Lake of the Woods out on Big Traverse Bay.  Resorts and outfitters on some parts of the lake have ice roads extending over 16 miles staying on nice schools of walleyes and saugers.  Many fish houses are over deep mud.  Some are on structure.  It is always fishing of course, but overall, February has been very productive for most anglers.   Extensions are being used on ice augers as the ice continues to thicken.  The thick ice this year will be good for the extended ice fishing season Lake of the Woods enjoys with fish houses out through March 31st, walleyes and saugers open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes. Most fishing activity is taking place in 26-32 feet of water.  Anglers are finding a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers, with a good number of jumbo perch in the mix this year.  Some big eelpout are also showing up.  Anglers are reporting plenty of fish for fresh fish frys and usually extra fish to bring home.   The one-two punch of a jigging line and deadstick is the way to go.  On the jigging line, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been consistent.  Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures also doing well.     Lures with a light have been working well in the stained water.  Please remember, in MN, lures with a light or water activated light can be used as long as the battery is mercury free and the hook is attached directly to the lure and not as a dropper line.     On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off of the bottom.    Some days, mornings are better, other days, it's the afternoons.  There is no distinct pattern, they could come through at any time. On the Rainy River...  The start of the day and end of the day have been best for those targeting walleyes on the river. A jig and minnow or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head is also producing some fish. Some big sturgeon being iced by ice anglers targeting them.  It is a catch-and-release sturgeon season currently.   Although ice conditions on the river are good, they can vary significantly due to the current, so anglers should always consult local resorts or outfitters for the most up-to-date safety information and fishing advice. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing has been strong in the islands area of Lake of the Woods. Resorts continue to move their fish houses around, staying on the best schools of walleyes.     Anglers are catching a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch with an occasional pike or tullibee as well.     Big crappies are still being caught just over the border.  Fish houses are available, check with a NW Angle resort for info on crappie fishing.   Lake of the Woods enjoys an extended ice fishing season with fish houses on the ice through March 31st and walleye and sauger seasons open through April 14th. Perch, crappie, and pike seasons remain open year-round.

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
