3 degrees RH helix, I use the Bohning Archery jig that was made for the blazers. Works good and arrows fly well for all my archery equipment. One falls off I can get it exact spot to just add one new one instead of having to replace all three blazers.

I use the EZ Fletch Bolt to put Blazers on my arrows. It doesn't say what degree of helical it is, only that it is a "radical" helical. This little jig works great and you can also replace 1 vane only if need be by slipping the 2 empty arms over the existing vanes to locate the new single vane.

I use the radical helical with the Bolt jig, i est. it as about 8 dergees +/- area. Most are from 2 to 4 degrees offset or 4-6 degrees helical

I use an old Jojan multifletcher with a right helical up to 11 degrees. I have it set at about half way is the best way I can describe it. That worked very well for my vertical bow and I see no need to change.

Blazer vanes are definitely the way to go!!

The EZ Bolt has a 3 degree, I was curious about that so I called the company.
