Last night after we got done shooting at the shop, I got to thinking. Before I left I bought some of the new Quickspin ST Speed Hunters to fletch up half of the dozen of gold tips I had. There had been a few people in the shop lately wanting their arrows fletched up with these so I thought it was worth a try. Got home and started fletching them up. The thing that got my attention about them first is that unlike the flat bottomes blazers, these had a little curvature to the bottom, making them easier to fletch. Nice.

I got them finished and couldn't tell much about them when I was out shooting last night in the floodlights. . I decided to go out today and do a little comparison. I didn't bother grouping at 20yds, I didn't want to risk the carbon casualties. I only did 30 and 40 yds, I may edit later with 50, 60yd groups. I would also like to add the blazers were shot first


Here is 30yds

Here is 40yds

In conclusion, I'm not to say that they will shoot good for you, but they seem to be working better out of my setup. Both vanes shot very well though, the blazer groups are a little decieving aswell because is seems at that spot in the bag, the arrows hit and the back ends fall down a bit. The ends of the shafts were closer than the vane ends. I will be shooting these quickspins for a little while I believe.

Well I haven't passed thru a target yet. It seems though, that these new ones wont wrinkle as badly. They aren't as stiff and rigid as blazers but I don't think it'll be a problem, especially with a drop away, versus a Whisker Biscuit.

Good info, Matt. My dealer prefers the Speed Hunters, he says they seem to adhere to the shaft better than Blazers. I picked up some new arrows yesterday and I'm trying them on 1/2 of them. Looking forward to hearing how you do with them.

 

[Cougars09]

Yeah the ones I have are the ST Speed Hunters, they are the ones to get because the piece that makes them spin is molded with the vane, compared to the regular Quickspins and regular Speed Hunters where that piece can come off.

Here's some 20. 50. 60yd groups.

Good luck with which ever you choose.

For me the Blazers were the winner as the Quick Spins were wearing and wrinkleing much faster than the blazers.

These new Quickspins, the ST's really seem to be the ticket.

Ditto, the QS vanes are nice but do not and will not hold up as well as a Blazer.

Did you try the quick spins with fixed blade broadheads?

 

[Cougars09]

No, I'll try to do that tommorow.

Thanks for sharing, would like to appreciate your enthusiam and effort. Nice groups, am curious as to the broadhead results, hopefully you won't ruin too many. Would like to offer out a challenge to you...would you be willing to shoot a few groups with straight fletch? Since you have established quality groups out to 60yds. with Quick Spin and Blazers, it would be interesting to see how these groups would stand up...think you'll be surprised. Please don't try this with broadheads unless your bow is perfectly tuned, but the field points should group and with your ability, I expect it to be a tight group Good luck.

My arrows are fletched straight. I know the Quickspins are, the Blazers might have a slight offset with a straight clamp. I'll play with broadheads tommorow, if I can find enough fixed heads to do it.

 

[Cougars09]

Ah just found 3 Muzzy 90gr 4blades. I'll play around tommorow. What yardages do you guys want to see with broadheads?

Everbody is wanting to compare the older QS to the STs. There is no comparison. The STs have went through my targets and didn't even wrinkle, blink or fold. The 2" are super tough. I have also noticed my grous are much tighter. SLick tricks and montecs are like darts with the STs. I just ask that people try STs before trying to compare them to the old or regular QS. There is no comparison other than looks.

Thanks I was riding the fence on wich one to use. Now I know.
Would like to see some pics with those Muzzy's.
