I need to replace several vanes on some of my Firebolt arrows. Which vanes should I use?

Re: Fletching Firebolts
2" Blazer vanes are a great choice.. I would strip all your arrows and refletch them all..

Re: Fletching Firebolts
I use them in a Excalibur Exomax crossbow. Does that make a difference?

Re: Fletching Firebolts
Makes no difference...i refletched my firebolts with 2" blazers, they fly much better.

Re: Fletching Firebolts
I put Blazers on all my arrows and I`m very pleased with their performance. As Grassy mentioned if you`re doing some you may as well do all.

Re: Fletching Firebolts
So use straight 2" Blazers? If I decide to stay with the 4 inch which ones would you recommend?

Re: Fletching Firebolts
Buy an Arizona E-Z fletch Bolt and go with Blazers, you won't be disappointed!

Re: Fletching Firebolts
X2 what Wabi said since you don't have a jig yet .
The "Bolt" model is a great jig designed for 2" vanes, specifically the Blazer vane which is ideal for our bows and broadheads as the jig will put on a nice helical which helps stabilize the arrow in flight..
Also don't be concerned with the amount of helical this jig puts on the vane, it will not interfere with the track in the rail..
The Bolt also cleans up real nice if soaked in acetone for 20-30 minutes after each use. The acetone Will Not hurt this jig even though it is made of plastic.
Here is a video that shows how to use the jig.. The jig in this video is not the "Bolt" jig, but the instructions are the same... Also the choice of glue is up to you as well.. Hope this helps..
