So, I love pretty feathers as much as the next guy but, I am putting together what I would consider my "rainy day" setup. I'm planning to run Dryad ACS ILF recurve limbs on a Hoyt Satori Riser and I am going to use an elevated rest with it. I haven't decided between a sticky rest and a plunger or just an elevated rest yet. I am wondering if that should give me enough clearance to run Blazer Vanes.

I run a Hoyt Super rest on my TallTines and shoot Blazers all the time. I'd think your bow would be very easy to set up to allow vanes and feathers.

I have shot those vanes from my ILF rig using a simple brush rest I get from 3 Rivers or Black Widow. Also shot them from my Bear Mag riser, same rest. Like yourself I had the same doubts. Grabbed a few of my son's arrows that have those vanes. Darn things shot real good.

I too have a rain bow - elevated rest but with 4" AAE Plastifletch vanes.  The blazers will work, I just can't stand the look of them.

I shoot Blazer vanes off one of my ILF,I use a magnetic flipper with a plunger.Another ILF I use the same setup with 4" Quick spin vanes.

Steve-o,

I think i've asked about 20 times, but would you mind posting a picture of your set up?  I just acquired a bear Mag set up and want to try an elevated rest with Vanes.

But its end is the way of death."  Proverbs 14:12

"elevated rest but with 4" AAE Plastifletch vanes. The blazers will work, I just can't stand the look of them".

I agree with J. Cook. I carry a couple arrows fletched up with 4" AAE Plasifletch vanes for wet weather elk hunting. They shoot perfectly off my Bear Weatherest.

Even works on the longbow:














4 fletch Blazers on Axis/MFX shafts




Old Silvertip with Bear Weatherest set up how Dave does it; I've found I prefer the Hoyt Super Rest--It is not as STIFF and is plenty durable.

Ben Pearson Hunter with homemade toothbrush elevated arrow rest. It shoots all type of vanes (3", 4" or blazers) as good as I can.

     

PS Here is how it can be done if you are interested

Cant go wrong with a Bear Weatherest.  Thats what I started with, along with the 4" plastic vanes, and it shot just fine.

I've been using Vanetec Swift vanes. Lower profile and they fly great. If your bow is tuned correctly, I would imagine the  Blazer vanes would shoot very well.
